It is not their fault but still, they have to bear all this. Referring to India’s context, he said that “we have never attacked anyone in the past, but it has been our tradition to help whoever has come seeking help. Even if he has behaved with us later in any way. We have never attacked anyone, we have helped those who were in trouble. This is the tradition of our country. We have to move forward in this way. In this situation, we also have to see that our country remains safe and at the same time we have to help other countries as well.”
Bhagwat said, “It is the responsibility of our country to ensure that the people suffering from instability and anarchy do not have to face any trouble, injustice and atrocities. In some cases, the government also has to look at its level, but it gets strength only when the society fulfills its duty and shows commitment to the country. ”
In Bangladesh, after the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina recently, there are reports of vandalism in many Hindu temples, houses of people of the Hindu community and business establishments. The country went into chaos after violent protests against the Sheikh Hasina-led government over the controversial quota system in jobs. Hasina resigned and left the country to India.
