Office bearers of Hindu Mahajot

Dhaka (Bangladesh) – Till the 30th of June 2022, 79 Hindus have been killed by Muslims in Bangladesh as per the information given by ‘Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mahajot (Bangladesh National Hindu Grand Alliance)’ during a press conference held at Nasrul Hamid Hall. Dinbandhu Roy, the Executive President of ‘Hindu Mahajot’, Pradipkumar Paul, its Vice-President and Vijay Krushna Bhattacharya, its Chief Convener were some of the office bearers who attended the press conference.

1. The General Secretary Govinda Chandra Pramanik of this organisation claimed that 620 people, other than the killed, were also threatened with life; attempts were made to kill 145; 173 were injured and 32 were missing. From 1st January to 30th June 2022, property belonging to Hindus worth Rs 26 crore was looted, including the property of 157 Hindu families and temples.

2. When asked about the basic source of such data, Govinda Chandra Pramanik told the reporter of ‘Bengali Tribune’ that ‘Bangladesh National Hindu Grand Alliance (Alliance)’ has its own research cell and its committee is working all over the country through which such information has been gathered. The information received from all over the country is being published.

3. ‘Bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mahajot’ has demanded 70 reserved seats in the national assembly and an independent election system to stop violence and oppression. The organisation has demanded representation in the Parliament for making the democratic system more meaningful. A separate ministry under the minority ministry has also been demanded by the organisation.

4. It was further informed in the press conference that everyday some heart-rending incidents are happening in some part of the country. The condition of Hindus is very pathetic due to oppression. Hindu teachers are being removed from the education institutes. Violence is increasing day by day. In broad daylight, incidents of oppression of a Hindu teacher by tying shoes around his neck are taking place in the presence of the Police and administration. Atrocities against Hindus are happening one after another, in places like Dhaka, Narayanganj, Gopalganj, Narel, Savar, etc.

Editorial viewpoints 

  • It is very shameful for Hindus that the Indian Government and pro-Hindu organisations in India are doing nothing about the continuous attacks on their brethren in Bangladesh !
  •  All Islamic countries oppose, with unity, whenever there is any violence against Muslims by non-Muslims anywhere in the world; however, Hindus or their rulers never oppose attacks on their brethren. It shows the need for establishment of Hindu Rashtra !
