Kashmiri Pandit Community in general and Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) in particular, make an urgent appeal to the Honorable Prime Minister of India and global leaders to intervene and prevent the atrocities being committed against the Hindu community in Bangladesh. The situation demands immediate attention to ensure the safety and rights of Hindus in the region.
It is deeply distressing to witness the relentless violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, marked by deaths, destruction of temples, desecration of sacred sites, physical assaults, and systemic oppression. Families are living in constant fear for their lives. This crisis echoes the tragic exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley, where we were forced to flee our homes to protect our families from similar violence and persecution. The history of the Kashmiri Pandits is a stark reminder of the consequences of ignoring such crises. The plight of Hindus in Bangladesh today is a continuation of the same pattern of intolerance and brutality.
The international community must not turn a blind eye to these brutalities, the severe persecution, forced conversions, and violence that our Hindu brothers and sisters are enduring in Bangladesh.
We urge the Government of India to take a strong diplomatic stance and engage with the government of Bangladesh to ensure the protection of Hindus and their places of worship. Concrete measures must be taken to prevent further violence and safeguard the rights of the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
We also call upon global bodies to investigate these atrocities and hold the perpetrators accountable. Immediate steps must be taken to provide humanitarian aid and support to the affected communities. We appeal to Hindus worldwide to exert pressure on their respective governments to intervene in this crisis. Unity and collective action are crucial in combating such injustices.
The persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh is not just a regional issue; it is a global human rights concern. It is our moral duty to stand up against this violence and ensure justice, peace, and security for the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
