Deploring attacks on Hindus and temples in Bangladesh, senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy accused Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government of being either "helpless" or "complicit" and asked the NDA government to "revaluate" its policy towards Dhaka.

The last few years have seen "increasing radicalization and jehadi sentiments in Bangladesh leading to" killing of Hindus, "dishonouring" of Hindu women and demolition of Hindu temples," he alleged in a statement here.

Swamy said the recent beheading of a Hindu priest in Bangladesh was "shocking" and alleged "it is quite clear that Prime Minister of Sheikh Hasina is either helpless or complicit at this anti-Hindu phobia" in that country.

Swamy said he had written to the Prime Minister seeking

Bharat Ratna for RSS leader Madhavrao Mule for his contribution during the Emergency era.

The BJP MP also claimed that RSS had played critical role in organising an underground movement against the Emergency.
