'Will strengthen partnership with great friend PM Modi': Trump's Diwali message for Hindu Americans

Former US President Donald trump card Thursday extended Diwali greetings and pledged to safeguard his interests American Hindusvowing to protect them from what he described as “anti-religion agenda of radical left.”
Trump highlighted his commitment to protecting freedoms and improving relations with India, a nation he has said is a vital ally.
Sharing a post on X, Trump wrote: “We will also protect Hindu-Americans against the radical left’s anti-religious agenda. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good. friend Prime Minister Modi”.
Trump also condemned the attacks on minorities in Bangladeshincluding Hindus and Christians amid political unrest following the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. “I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians and other minorities who are being attacked and robbed by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a state of total chaos,” Trump said.

Hasina’s August 5 resignation, which was spurred by widespread protests against a controversial government job quota system, left the country in disarray, prompting the establishment of a caretaker government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
It is the first time Trump has addressed the crisis in Bangladesh, where reports indicate hundreds of Hindus were killed during protests in July and August. He contrasted his approach with that of the President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he accused of ignoring the plight of Hindus both globally and domestically.
“It would never have happened under my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus around the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own southern border,” Trump said, adding, ” but we will make America strong again and bring back peace through strength!”
Trump also criticized Biden and Harris on economic issues, claiming, “Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. Instead, we cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. we will do it again, bigger and better than ever before – and we will make America great again.”
He also extended his Diwali wishes saying, “Also Happy Diwali to all. I hope that the Festival of Lights will lead to the victory of good over evil.”
Trump’s approach to Hindu-Americans has been strategic, seeking to build support within this community while appealing to broader concerns about global stability and economic resilience.
