Several lead politicians of Britain, former and current MPs, human rights activists and members of various religious communities have urged the Prime Minister Kir Sarkar government to take strict measures against the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh, as it has failed to ensure the safety and goodwill of religious minorities in the South Asian country.
In a seminar organized by the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh (CFOB), it was highlighted that when Mohammad Yunus took charge as the Chief Advisor to the Interim Government after the removal of the democratically elected Awami League government of Sheikh Hasina, then (between August 5 to September 20, 2024), 2,010 against Hindus.
Violence against Hindus continued in Bangladesh and between 21 September to 31 December 2024, 258 incidents were reported between 1 January to 30 June 2025. It was told that the police and the army remain mute spectators in Bangladesh. In the last 11 months, Mohammad Yunus’s ‘irresponsible, opaque, non-elected government’ canceled the registration of 168 journalists and put 43 journalists in jail.
The seminar was started by CFOB President Anjenara Rahman-Hauq and chaired by Harro East MP Bob Blackman, who is also the Chairman of the 1922 Committee, Chairman of the Backbench Business Committee and the Parliamentary President of the Conservative Friends of Bangladesh (CFOB) since 2024.
Speakers said that religious minorities contribute to the economic development and political stability of Bangladesh and should have proportional representation in politics to participate in the election process to ensure the establishment of minority justice, peace and harmony.
Haradhan Bhowmik of Britain’s United Hindu Alliance said that Hindus are living in panic. They cannot sleep peacefully at home, because they do not know what will happen tomorrow. He said that on 26 June, a Hindu woman was raped by a local politician of Kumila in Muradnagar and her naked body videos were broadcast on social media worldwide.
Representing the Buddhist community of Britain, Barrister Prashant Barua expressed his concerns about the fundamentalism of the society in Bangladesh and also mentioned the arrest of 36 Bangladeshi extremists in Malaysia.
Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (Huji) movement in Dhaka indicates the increasing presence of radical forces in Bangladesh and the Yunus government is not taking any serious action against them. Barua also expressed her apprehension about the continuous attacks on the local people in the Chittagong Hill Tracks.
