  • Groups representing minorities in Bangladesh have criticised British Labour MP Rupa Huq for not meeting Hindu and other minority communities during her recent trip to Dhaka. They expressed concern that her visit missed addressing the violence and persecution of these groups.

British Labour MP Rushanara Ali is facing criticism for not meeting with minority communities during her visit to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Critics have expressed disappointment, highlighting that her engagement could have shed light on the human rights abuses and the need for international support for these communities.
