Indian Americans are urging the Trump administration and Congress to impose sanctions on Bangladesh over the persecution of Hindus and desecration of Hindu temples. Dr. Bharat Barai, a prominent community leader, cited Bangladesh's military-controlled regime as responsible for targeting minorities. Attending a Diwali celebration in Washington, Barai emphasized economic sanctions, particularly on Bangladesh's garment exports, to pressure change. Former President Donald Trump condemned the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, promising strong action if re-elected. Barai also urged India to consider similar measures if minority persecution continues, emphasizing the need for global advocacy for human rights and religious freedom.
