Bangladesh Attacks On Hindus

Hundreds marched in Bangladesh's capital Saturday to demand protections for Hindus and other minorities who say they have suffered violence and threats since the ouster of autocratic premier Sheikh Hasina.

Chief Adviser to Bangladesh's interim government, Muhammad Yunus, has said the issue of attacks on minority Hindus in his country is "exaggerated" and questioned the manner in which India projected it.

Bangladesh has assured to protect and ensure security and safety of Hindus and all minorities living in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a post on X today.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, delivering his 11th consecutive Independence Day speech at Delhi's Red Fort, said 140 crore Indians are worried about the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh, who have faced attacks during the recent political unrest.

Making an important pitch for unity at a time when there have been reports of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, the head of the interim government, visited a temple, met Hindu leaders and said the rights.

Bangladesh's new interim government helmed by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus said on Sunday it had "grave concern" over reports of attacks on Hindus and other religious minorities in the past week.

Hundreds of Hindus in Bangladesh are believed to have been injured in attacks on their homes and businesses since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5.

A week of fast-paced developments in Bangladesh, which saw Sheikh Hasina's ouster, widespread violence and the formation of an interim government, has been capped off with the country's chief justice agreeing to step down on Saturday.

Two prominent Indian-American lawmakers have sought the US' direct intervention to stop the "coordinated attacks" against minority Hindus in Bangladesh.

RSS national executive member Indresh Kumar on Saturday condemned the alleged incident of vandalism at a temple in Bangladesh and urged India to intervene, saying the Sheikh Hasina government has "completely failed" in protecting minority Hindus.

The RSS on Friday said that the recent attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh during the Durga Puja festivities was a "well-orchestrated" conspiracy to uproot minorities and called upon the Government of India to communicate to its neighbour.

The all-India executive committee of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS started its three-day meeting at the Rashtrotthana Vidya Kendra where a resolution on the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh would be passed, said a top leader of the outfit.

A resolution on Hindus attacked in Bangladesh, a discussion on the fuel price hike and a strategy ahead of five state elections are on the agenda of a three-day meet of the BJP's ideological mentor Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Karnataka.

A key suspect and his accomplice accused of inciting communal hatred on social media and instigating the recent violence against the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh have confessed to their crime in a pre-trial hearing, a court official said.
