BJP MPs criticised Opposition parties, saying their silence on situation of Hindus and other minorities is unfortunate. Several Hindu temples, households and businesses have been vandalised in violence in Bangladesh since Monday when Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India, leaving country in turmoil following deadly protests against her over quota system in jobs.
