NEW DELHI: Hindu American teams flew a large airline banner in New York that stated ‘cease violence on Bangladeshi Hindus.’ The massive banner circled the Statue of Liberty because it flew over the Hudson River.
This comes after latest stories of focused violence, systematic impoverishment, lynchings, kidnappings of minor ladies and compelled job resignations affecting as much as 200,000 Hindus as Bangladesh handled a political upheavel that led to the autumn and ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5, 2024, after which there have been round 250 verified assaults and over 1,000 reported incidents.
Bangladesh Hindu Neighborhood member Sitangshu Guha advised ANI, “Hindus in Bangladesh are on the verge of extinction. Hopefully, it will elevate consciousness among the many civilised world and immediate the UN to take motion to avoid wasting the victims of militant Islamic forces in Bangladesh. If Bangladesh turns into Hindu-free, it is going to develop into Afghanistan 2.0, and militants will unfold to neighbouring India and different components of the world, together with the West. That is everybody’s drawback.”
Pankaj Mehta, member of the Interfaith Human Rights Coalition who helped set up the occasion, added, “It’s time for the UN Human Rights Council to place apart politics and formally recognise the 1971 Bangladesh genocide, the biggest genocide since World Conflict II. Three US-based organisations–The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention, Genocide Watch, and the Worldwide Coalition of Websites of Conscience–have already recognised the atrocities dedicated by Pakistani occupation forces and their Islamist allies in 1971 as genocide, primarily concentrating on the Hindu minority. The UN should observe go well with and take steps to forestall one other looming genocide.”
