Stop Atrocities Against Hindus in Bangladesh: Tripura Muslim Body

Agartala: The Tripura Gousia Samiti, a Muslim socio-religious organisation in the northeastern state, on Thursday demanded the ending of atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and disrespect to the Indian national flag.

A nine-member delegation of Tripura Gousia Samiti on Thursday met the Additional District Magistrate, West Tripura district and submitted a memorandum addressing the Bangladesh Assistant High Commissioner in Agartala demanding to stop atrocities on Hindu and other minorities in the neighbouring country.

After submitting the memorandum to the ADM, Tripura Gousia Samiti President Abdul Barik said that they are worriedly witnessing the ongoing turmoil in Bangladesh for the past several months.

“People belonging to Sanatan Hindu Dharma and other minorities are being oppressed and attacked in Bangladesh. Properties of the minorities are being burnt, vandalized and damaged. These are unacceptable," Barik told the media.

Severely condemning the desecration of the Indian national flag, the Samiti in their memorandum said that being Indian they were deeply disheartened after witnessing through various social media about the utter disrespect to the Indian tricolour in Bangladesh. “We want an immediate stop to such violent actions and incidents and punishment to the perpetrators," the organisation said and demanded protection of the properties of the Hindu community and other minorities.

Meanwhile, besides providing adequate security in and around the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission (AHC) office in Agartala, the Tripura Police keep an extra alert in dealing with the protests and agitations against the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in the neighbouring country.
