Bangladesch Slams Gabbards Bemerkungen zur Verfolgung der Minderheiten

In a recent development, Bangladesh’s interim government has refuted comments made by U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard regarding the persecution of religious minorities within the country. Gabbard’s allegations, which were discussed in an interview with an Indian TV channel, claimed that the persecution and killing of religious minorities, along with the threat of Islamic terrorism, are deeply rooted in an ideology aiming to establish an Islamist caliphate. ​

In response, Bangladesh’s government labeled these remarks as „misleading and damaging,“ emphasizing that such statements lack evidence and unjustly tarnish the nation’s reputation. They pointed out that these comments paint the entire nation with a broad and unjustified brush, failing to acknowledge Bangladesh’s inclusive and peaceful practice of Islam and its significant progress in combating extremism and terrorism. ​
