Dhaka: Against the backdrop of anti-government violence in Bangladesh, Dr. Rajeev Menon, the National Organizational Secretary of the Republican Party, has informed the central government that the lives and property of the Hindu minority in the country should be protected. Dr. Rajeev Menon urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take immediate action to save the Hindus in Bangladesh. He emphasized that during this period of unrest, everyone must maintain communal harmony and protect Hindu minorities. He added that their lives and property must be protected from malicious forces.
In a country with a population of 170 million, about eight percent are Hindus. Most of the Hindus support Hasina’s Awami League. This is the main reason for provoking the rioters. With the increase in attacks, thousands of people are waiting at the borders to migrate to India. Protecting the future of Bangladesh is our duty. There is concern about the situation of Hindus in Bangladesh. Condemning the attacks on the homes and establishments of Hindus, Dr. Rajeev Menon came forward and said that religious fundamentalists are carrying out planned attacks against Hindus. He stated that the attacks against Hindus are dangerous and that India should protect them. Dr. Rajeev Menon demanded that the entire country stand with the minority Hindus in Bangladesh. He added that the safety and security of Hindus and other minority communities must be ensured, and expressed hope that Bangladesh will soon return to normalcy.
