New Delhi [India], December 26 (ANI): Vishva Hindu Parishad national spokesperson Vinod Bansal on Friday expressed concern about the atrocities against the Hindu minority in Bangladesh, urging international organisations such as the United Nations to intervene and protect human rights.
Speaking with ANI, Vinod Bansal said, 'The way the political developments have changed there and the violence already visible even before the general elections is a major warning for the entire world. I feel that the UN should intervene in this immediately.'
'Has the International Human Rights Authority issued any notice to Bangladesh? No. Have they taken any action in this regard? This is a matter worth considering,' he added.
Vinod Bansal further alleged that attempts to 'eradicate' Bengal culture are being made by Islamists fundamentalist.
'The attempt being made to completely destroy and eradicate Bengal's culture is serious,' he said.
The recent killings of two Hindus, Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mondal, in Bangladesh has triggered international concern over the safety of minorities in the country.
Earlier, Rashtriya Lok Dal leader Malook Nagar called upon the people to unite against the violence against Bangladeshi Hindus. He underscored the importance of a united front, stating, 'All our countrymen should be absolutely united on this. We should express strong protest and show our displeasure.'
He noted that the government is also invested in the matter, but said these tragic incidents should not be used for political gain.
'The government is also very sensitive and is paying attention to this issue,' said Nagar.
'But the political parties within our country should not politicise this issue. We should all unite and register our protest', he added.
According to the local daily, The Daily Star, Amrit Mondal, also known as Samrat, was lynched around 11:00 pm (local time) on Wednesday at Hosendanga village of Kalimohor union in Rajbari's Pangsha upazila over an extortion allegation.
