Addressing reporters, Sampath alleged that violence continued against Hindus in Bangladesh. He claimed that Hindus constituted 26 percent when that nation became independent in 1971, and it has now dropped to a mere 7 per cent and they too have no safety and security.

Alleging genocide of Hindus, he also said temples are being destroyed and Hindu women are being targeted.

The first Test against Bangladesh began here on Thursday.
