Attacks on minority Hindu community in Islamic Bangladesh during coronavirus lockdown

• Hindus have experienced that irrespective whether it is India or Bangladesh, religious fanatics attack Hindus and rulers remain inactive nor do they protect Hindus.
• The Indian media houses always suppress the news of attacks on Hindu community taking place in Islamic countries. The same is also experienced in this case.
• The International Commissions preparing reports about so-called atrocities perpetrated on the minorities in India turns a blind eye towards such atrocities on minority Hindus in Bangladesh.
