Tulsi’s comments on minorities in Bangladesh
The development comes after Tulsi Gabbard said on an Indian television channel that the violence against minorities in Bangladesh was rooted in the “ideology and objective to rule and govern with an Islamist Caliphate.”
She also said that the matter of Islamic terrorism continues to be a “central focus of concern.”
She further stated that while talks between US President Donald Trump and Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, are just beginning, Islamic terrorism remains a key concern.
