‘I’ll always support Hindus who…’: Dutch politician Geert Wilders shares missive for India after election win
Far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders thanked supporters on Sunday following a shock election victory. The conservative-liberal politician also assured that he would always support Hindus who were threatened in Pakistan or Bangladesh. The controversial lawmaker is a vocal critic of Islam and has been accused of inciting hatred and discrimination on several occasions.
“Thanks so much to all my friends from all over the world who congratulated me on winning the Dutch elections. Many kind messages came from India: I’ll always support Hindus who are attacked or threatened to be killed or prosecuted in Bangladesh, Pakistan only for being Hindu,” he tweeted on Sunday evening.
Wilders’ anti-Muslim Freedom Party emerged a clear winner in the polls held late last month but has struggled to corral potential allies into coalition negotiations. The PVV claimed another prize on Friday as Martin Bosma was elected chair of the Lower House of Parliament.
