In the clip, Jaya said, “Today, I am very sad to think about how a human being can be subjected to so much cruelty. This is not just normal violence; it is an attack on humanity. Our temples are being destroyed, and the dignity of our sisters is being violated. How long will we remain silent? Are we going to stay quiet in the name of secularism? This violence must stop, and we all need to raise our voices. We should help all Hindus suffering in Bangladesh.”
Sharing her video, she wrote in the caption, “The murder of Dipu Chandra Das has embarrassed the whole humanity. The atrocity happening on Hindus in Bangladesh is now out of tolerance.”
Actor Manoj Joshi also spoke to ANI regarding the same, he said, "Everyone comes forward when something happens in Gaza or Palestine, but when a Hindu is killed in Bangladesh, it is very sad that nobody comes forward. Time will give its answer." He expressed disappointment towards the selective outrage towards the incident.
