Bengaluru, March 22 (NationPress) The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has urged the United Nations and international organizations to exert pressure on the Bangladesh government to put an end to the ongoing violence against Hindus in this South-Asian nation.
During the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS), the RSS adopted a resolution addressing the hardships faced by Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh.
The resolution called for various countries and global organizations to voice their support for the Hindu and other minority communities in Bangladesh.
The ABPS believes that it is essential for international entities like the UN and the global community to acknowledge the inhumane treatment experienced by Hindus and other minority groups in Bangladesh and to pressure the government to end these violent acts.
"The ABPS expresses its deep concern over the relentless and orchestrated violence, injustice, and resistance faced by the Hindu and other minority groups due to radical Islamist factions in Bangladesh. This constitutes a serious infringement of human rights," stated the RSS.
The ABPS also called upon the Hindu community and leaders from various nations and international bodies to unite in solidarity with the Hindu and minority groups in Bangladesh, according to the RSS.
"In light of the recent regime shift in Bangladesh, multiple reports have emerged of assaults on mutts, temples, Durgapuja mandals, and educational institutions, alongside desecration of deities, gruesome murders, property thefts, abductions, assaults on women, and forced conversions. Downplaying the religious nature of these incidents as merely political is a denial of reality, as many victims belong to Hindu and other minority communities," the resolution underscored.
Furthermore, it stated, "The ongoing persecution of Hindus and minority groups, particularly the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in Bangladesh, by Islamist factions is not a new phenomenon. The alarming drop in the Hindu population in Bangladesh from 22 percent in 1951 to 7.95 percent today signifies a critical existence crisis for them."
"Moreover, the governmental and institutional backing for the violence and hostility observed last year raises significant concern. Additionally, the ceaseless anti-Bharat rhetoric in Bangladesh poses a serious threat to the bilateral relations between the two nations," the RSS emphasized.
