Deepan Mitra, who arrived in Geneva from France, also participated in 3 programmes there. The event was organized by ‘Bangladesh Minority Alliance and National Human Rights Geneva’, ‘Global Tamil Movement’ and ‘United Nations Commission on Human Rights’ on incidents of atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh.

In front of the ‘Broken Chair’ in Geneva, human chains and protest marches were organized by Hindutva groups against atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh. On this occasion, the area was rocked with slogans of protest. On this occasion, the speakers strongly condemned the inaction of the Bangladeshi army and administration regarding attacks on minority Hindus, vandalism of monasteries and temples. Everyone was worried about ISKCON’s Chinmoy Krishna Das Prabhu. The demand for his unconditional release from prison was made at this time.

Editorial Perspective

Congratulations to the ‘World Hindu Federation’ which is trying at the global level to stop the ongoing atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh. Most of the Hindus in India remain inactive at such times, which is a shame for India.
