The Bhartiya Janata Party\n(BJP)-led  Union government in New Delhi\nmay be silent over the recent violence against the Hindu minorities in\nBangladesh, but its ideologue Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has come out\nwith a strong statement against the continuing brutality on the minority\ncommunity in the neighboring country. The RSS that functions as a Hindu\nnationalist umbrella organization reassures that the entire Hindu society\nstands firmly by persecuted minorities there in this challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its Akhil Bharatiya Karyakari\nMandal Baithak, presently going on at Dharwad (Karnataka), the RSS expresses\nits deep anguish over the recent outburst of violence on Hindu families in the\nsouth Asian country. A resolution, adopted in the three-day meeting (28 to 30\nOctober 2021), terms the attacks on the temple and Sanatan families as a \u2018part\nof larger conspiracy by Jihadi groups to further Islamisation\u2019 of the populous\ncountry, which was born in 1971 with active supports from Indian armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent slew of communal\nviolence that erupted (in Bangladesh) during the sacred festival of Durga Puja\nleft many innocent Hindus killed, hundreds of others injured and rendered\nthousands of families homeless. Several girls and women belonging to the Hindu\ncommunity were assaulted, temples and Durga Puja pandals were vandalised in a\nspan of two weeks,\u201d said the resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added that the arrest of some\nof the accused individuals, who spread fake news to incite communal frenzy in\nsociety, brought to light that the attacks were a well-orchestrated conspiracy\nof the radical Islamists. The frequent and targeted attacks are clearly a\nsystematic effort to exterminate and uproot Hindu minorities whose population\nhas witnessed a steep decline ever since the partition of Bharat, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be mentioned that around\ntwenty eight percent of the population of East Bengal was Hindu at the time of\npartition, which dwindled to about eight per cent now. The atrocities by\nradical Islamist groups like Jamaat-e-Islami (Bangladesh) resulted in large\nscale migration of Hindus into Bharat since partition and specially during the\n1971 freedom war. Those outfits continue to vitiate the communal harmony in\nBangladesh creating insecurity to the minorities there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting in presence of\nSarsanghchalak Dr Mohan Bhagwat and Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosbale opines that\nthe Bangla government in Dhaka should take stringent measures to prevent the\nmounting incidents of violence against the Hindu and Buddhist minorities in the\ncountry. Dhaka should also ensure that the perpetrators of anti-Hindu violence\nbe handed severe punishment so that the Hindus will be assured about their\nsecured dignified life availing their rights in Bangladesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another aspect, the meeting\ndecried the deafening silence of so-called human rights watchdogs and UN\naffiliated bodies calling upon the international community to come forward in\nraising their voices for the safety & security of the Bangladeshi Hindu,\nBuddhist and other minorities. It also cautioned that the rise of radical\nIslamist forces, whether in Bangladesh or in any other parts of the globe,\nwould be a grave threat to democracy and human rights in all peace-loving\nnations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meet, where over 350\nKaryakartas including Pranth Sanghchalak, Karyavah, Pracharak, Akhil Bharatiya\nKaryakarini members, etc have participated, fervently appealed to the Centre to\nuse all available diplomatic channels to communicate the concerns of the global\nHindu community to Dhaka over the human rights violation there. It also\nacknowledged various Hindu organizations and institutions like ISKCON, RK\nMission, Bharat Sevashram Sangha, VHP, etc for standing by the victims of\nBangla violence and also supporting them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
