ABC and several other media outlets are shrewdly trying to establish an apocryphal narrative that Hindus in Bangladesh are being persecuted not for their religious identity but for the alleged support for Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League.
ABC News ‘journalist’ Avani Dias forgot one key piece of information – The word secular was not part of the Indian Constitution when it came into force in 1950.
Avani Dias alleged, "Just so you're across it, when India was founded in 1947 after it got independence from the British, its constitution was written to say India is a secular country, which means it has to be neutral and open to all religions."
