Desk Correspondent , Delhi - Indian origin U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna has issued a strong condemnation of the recent lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh, calling it a "vile act of hatred and bigotry." Taking to social media, the Democratic leader from California expressed his deep shock over the killing of the 27-year-old Hindu garment worker, who was targeted by a mob in Mymensingh. Khanna's statement marks one of the most prominent international reactions to the incident, which has already strained diplomatic ties between India and Bangladesh.

In his post, Khanna urged people globally to speak out against such senseless violence and offered his thoughts and prayers to the victim’s family. He emphasized that the world must not remain silent in the face of communal brutality. "We must unequivocally condemn and speak out against these vile acts of hatred and bigotry," Khanna wrote. His remarks come at a time when several Hindu organizations in India have been protesting outside Bangladeshi missions, demanding better protection for minority communities in the neighboring country.

While many welcomed his stance, the Congressman also faced pushback from some social media users who questioned why a U.S. representative was commenting on an event in South Asia. Despite the criticism, Khanna remained firm in his position that human rights violations should be addressed regardless of borders. A political analyst noted, "Ro Khanna's voice adds international weight to the concerns regarding minority safety in Bangladesh during this volatile period." As investigations into the lynching continue, the global community remains watchful of the situation.
