Bangladesh govt failing to protect minorities, deployment of UN peacekeeping forces necessary: Toronto-based Hindu organisation

GBHC executive Sushanta Das also appealed to the Government of India to help impose sanctions against the “illegal” and “hostile” administration in Dhaka.

He further said even Bangladesh Army personnel were involved in looting and such misconduct should be raised at the United Nations Security Council.

Highlighting the arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges in Bangladesh, another GBHC executive Pushpita Sinha said Hindus were being called “spies of India” in Bangladesh, and the Indian flag was being “disrespected” in Bangladeshi universities and schools.

Sinha added that the incumbent administration in Bangladesh was illegally occupying power with help from terrorist organisations like the Hizb-ut-Tahrir.

“Teachers, professors, free thinkers, and muktijoddhas (freedom fighters) are under dire distress in Bangladesh for speaking in favour of Hindus and minorities,” she said, adding that names of Hindu candidates were being selectively deleted from the selection list for Bangladesh Civil Service.

Tripura has witnessed several protests over the Bangladesh minorities issue in recent months, including one which resulted in a breach of security at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala.

Ruling party leaders including Chief Minister Manik Saha have also raised the issue of persecution of Hindus and other minorities in the neighbouring country.
