PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday expressed concern over the reported harassment of Hindu women in Bangladesh, saying the reports are “deeply disturbing”.
“Reports from Bangladesh about Hindu women fear moving freely while wearing sindoor are deeply disturbing,” Mehbooba wrote on X.
She further wrote, “Sadly, the Indian leadership appears to face a moral dilemma in raising this grave issue with Bangladeshi authorities, as lumpen elements at home are themselves seen forcibly pulling off the hijabs of Muslim women. In a world dominated by fanatics, who will truly stand up for the rights and dignity of women?”
Mehbooba also posted a video of a man trying to pull the hijab of a woman.
