The killing of Das by a mob in Bangladesh not only shocked people across the world but also strained ties between India and Bangladesh. | World News
US Congressman Ro Khanna has condemned the brutal lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, a 27-year-old Hindu garment worker in Bangladesh, calling it a 'horrific' act of 'hatred and bigotry.' The incident occurred during protests that erupted after the death of student leader Osman Hadi. Das's killing has sparked outrage across the globe, with protests held in cities like New Delhi, Kolkata, and Hyderabad.
The security situation in Bangladesh has been fragile since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and the assassination of Osman Hadi further escalated tensions. India and Bangladesh have lodged formal protests and summoned each other's envoys in response to the incident.
Khanna's statement, made on social media platform X, emphasized the need for people to speak out against such 'vile acts.' However, some users questioned the relevance of the Congressman's statement, citing Bangladesh's geographical distance from the United States and California, the state he represents. The incident has strained ties between India and Bangladesh and has raised concerns about the safety of minorities in the neighboring country.
