London (UK) – Bob Blackman, leader of the Conservative Party (Tories) and a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom, has expressed serious concern over the grave situation currently prevailing in Bangladesh. He pointed out that violence against minorities has increased sharply during the tenure of Yunus’s interim government.

Today, I raised my concerns on Bangladesh.

With elections looming, the Awami League are still banned.

I am also horrified to see that Hindu's are murdered and their temples burned.

I called on the Govt to act to protect minorities and ensure free and fair elections. pic.twitter.com/DTTCCgcN2S

Speaking in the British Parliament, Blackman stated clearly that Hindus are being killed on the streets in Bangladesh, their homes and temples are being set on fire, and other religious minorities are also being subjected to similar acts of violence.

Doubts raised over elections scheduled for February 12th

Blackman warned that the general elections scheduled to be held in Bangladesh on February 12th are taking place under serious democratic doubts. The major political party, the Awami League, has been barred from participating in the elections, despite opinion polls indicating that the party commands nearly 30% public support.
