Panaji, July 25 (Representative) All the nations in the world, United Nations and India should take initiative for protection of Hindus in Bangladesh, President of Bangladesh Minority Watch Advocate Ravindra Ghosh said on Monday.”Presently Hindus in Bangladesh are being targeted by the Muslims with a criminal approach. By making false allegation that Koran or Prophet Muhammad are being insulted, atrocities such as demolishing the Hindu temples, denigrating idols of deities, setting ablaze Hindu localities, assassinating Hindus, so also raping Hindu women and girls are being committed,” he claimed during an online special dialogue organised by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS).’ ‘The Bangladesh government and the police have become passive spectators, and as a result, Hindus are not safe in Bangladesh. Hindus in Bangladesh have no guardians. If this continues, the old situation will resurface and there will be no Hindus left in Bangladesh,” he claimed further.
President of Research and Empowerment Organisation Prof Chandan Sarkar said, ‘‘Since 2012 to 2022, Hindu localities in Bangladesh are being attacked in a much organised manner and the Hindus are targeted. The intention is that Hindus get scared and flee Bangladesh. As a result the population of Hindus is continuously reducing. The Hindu population in Bangladesh that was 28 per cent initially has dwindled to 6 per cent as of now.’’ General Secretary of World Hindu Federation Dipan Mitra claimed that during the past few months over 325 Hindu temples have been vandalised. ”Hindu men are assassinated and their women are kidnapped. Hindus are deprived of their fundamental rights; however, the entire world and the neighbouring India are silent spectators to these atrocities. We desperately need help to put an end to the Hindu sufferings,” he said. The East and North-east region coordinator of Hindu Janajagruti Samiti Shambhu Gaware alleged that the United Nations and European Union are silent on the killings of Kashmiri Hindus and atrocities on them.
