Congress Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday made a statement once again as she walked into Parliament, this time showing her support for the Hindu and Christian minorities in Bangladesh.

The message “Bangladesh ke Hindus and Christians ke saath khade ho” (Stand with the Hindus and Christians of Bangladesh) was prominently displayed on her bag.

This comes after a similar gesture on Monday, when Priyanka’s bag featured a ‘Palestine’ tag, expressing her solidarity with Palestine.

The Wayanad MP, along with other opposition leaders, protested outside Parliament against the mistreatment of minorities in Bangladesh. They raised slogans calling on the government to ensure justice for these communities.

Many carried cream-coloured handbags, and several members were seen holding placards and bags, all showing support for the minorities affected by ongoing atrocities in Bangladesh.

Even in the Lok Sabha on Monday, Priyanka had raised the issue of the safety and security of both Hindus and Christians in Bangladesh.

“The government should raise the issue of atrocities against Hindu and Christian minorities in Bangladesh. It should discuss this with the Bangladesh government and support those who are in pain,” the Congress leader had said.

The display of solidarity comes amid growing concerns over the safety and rights of minority communities in Bangladesh.
