In his Diwali post on X, ex-US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump criticized the “barbaric violence” against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh, and also took a jibe at Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.
In a Diwali message, he criticized Harris – his Democratic opponent in the presidential race – and Biden for “ignoring Hindus” globally and in the US. “I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos,” he tweeted.
“It would never have happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back peace through strength,” the post further read.
