This month of December was one of fear and silence for Hindus in the neighboring country Bangladesh. The brutal killing of many Hindus in just 10 days has raised concerns about regional security and human rights. Families locked in their homes, houses destroyed by fire and incidents of murder even among security forces are raising the question whether the safety of minorities is being ensured in the neighboring country and what steps can the Indian government take to stop it. Let us understand.

How many innocents were killed in 10 days?

This series of attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh became most intense in December. First, 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das was beaten to death in Mymensingh district and later burnt. Authorities later said the blasphemy charge was false. A week later, 29-year-old Amrit Mandal was beaten to death by a mob in Pangsha of Rajbari district. The third incident took place in the same Mymensingh district, where 40-year-old Bajendra Biswas was shot by his Muslim colleague Noman Mian.

Dipu Chandra Das – False allegation took his life

Dipu Chandra Das worked in a garment factory in Bhaluka. Rumors were spread against him that he made objectionable remarks. At around 9 pm, a crowd of hundreds of people caught him and beat him brutally. After his death the mob tied him to a tree and burnt him. This incident is being considered the most gruesome example of increasing violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

Amrit Mandal- Mob lynched

A week after Deepu’s murder, Amrit Mandal was murdered in Pangsha of Rajbari district. At night, some people along with him went to Shahidul’s house, then the local people raised the alarm of dacoit-robber and the mob caught hold of Amrit and started beating him. Amrit died in the hospital after being badly injured by kicks, punches and sticks.

Bajendra Biswas – No one is safe even in security forces

Bajendra Biswas, 40, who was a member of the Ansar force, was shot dead by his Muslim companion Noman Mian in Bhaluka, Mymensingh district. Biswas, posted at Sultana Sweaters Factory, became the target while on duty. His own companion shot him in the thigh and Biswas died. This incident shows that now the security personnel engaged in protecting the minorities are also in danger.

Attacks on Hindu families and burning of houses

Apart from the killings, houses of 5-6 Hindu families were set on fire in Pirojpur district. At night, when the families were sleeping, the miscreants also locked the doors from outside. The families managed to escape with their lives. Such incidents show that minority communities in Bangladesh are under constant threat.

Indian Government’s intervention and possible steps

Experts believe that the Indian government should exert diplomatic pressure to ensure the safety of minorities in Bangladesh. This could include high-level talks, joint security monitoring, and applying pressure through human rights groups. Additionally, a message can also be sent by taking temporary steps on visa policy, trade and cultural cooperation for Bangladesh in India.

Chaos continues in Bangladesh. Minorities, especially Hindus, are being continuously targeted there. AIMIM Chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi has expressed concern over the situation in India’s neighboring country. On Sunday (December 28), he condemned the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh and stressed the strength of India-Bangladesh relations.

AIMIM supremo Owaisi said that his party strongly condemns the murder of Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mandal in Bangladesh. Along with this, it also supports the steps being taken by the Indian government to maintain strong relations with Bangladesh.

‘Bangladesh was formed on the basis of Bengali nationalism’
Asaduddin Owaisi said that Bangladesh was formed on the basis of secular Bengali nationalism and there are 2 crore minorities living there, who are not Muslims. I have full hope that tension between India and Bangladesh will not increase. Whatever is happening in Bangladesh regarding the tragic incident of Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mandal is against their own constitutional mandate. I hope that Yunus will ensure that all minorities living in Bangladesh are protected.

‘All those forces which are enemies of India are all in Bangladesh’
Owaisi said that we should also remember that stability in Bangladesh is very important for the security of India, especially the North East. There has been a popular revolution in Bangladesh and we hope that when the elections are held in February, relations between India and Bangladesh will be better than ever. We should also remember that ISI, China and all those forces are enemies of India. Now they all are in Bangladesh.

He further said that what is happening in Bangladesh is wrong but at the same time we should not forget what is happening in our country. He said that on December 24, a laborer from West Bengal was beaten to death in Sambalpur, Odisha. He further said that Angel Chakma, a tribal boy pursuing MBA in Uttarakhand was beaten up, resulting in his death.
