Dilip Ghosh, one of the national vice-presidents of the Bharatiya Janata Party in India, said on Saturday that the attacks on minorities in Bangladesh hurt them and affected the image of Bangladesh as well.
Connecting a rally in Dhaka virtually, Dilip Ghosh, a member of parliament representing the Medinipur constituency in the Indian Lok Sabha, also said that although India and Bangladesh were separate countries, their traditions and cultures were the same.
‘So, when there is any trouble here [in India], it impacts there [in Bangladesh]. When any problem takes place there, we also feel the pain of it. When Hindu society is in pain in Bangladesh due to the misbehaviour of some miscreants, we feel pain here [in India]. It affects the image of Bangladesh,’ he said.
The Bangladesh Jatio Hindu Mohajote, or Bangladesh National Grand Alliance, organised the grand rally at Mahanagor Nattya Mancha in the capital’s Gulistan.
Dilip Ghosh urged Bangladeshi Hindus to remain in harmony in Bangladesh so that they stay at peace in India.
He claimed that they [the Indians] were with the people to liberate Bangladesh, and they were still with them.
He said that he was supposed to join the rally in person but could not make it as several elections were being held in different Indian states. He wished that India and Bangladesh go forward jointly and that Bangladesh ‘achieves its quality of solving global problems.'
Addressing the rally, Hasanul Haq Inu, the president of the Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal faction, urged the government to set up an independent commission for minority rights.
He also advocated for the removal of dictatorial and communist elements from the constitution. He also urged law enforcement agencies to press charges against the perpetrators of recent attacks on minorities and hold them accountable for their crimes.
Gobinda Chandra Pramanik, secretary general of the organisation, said that they turned minority just because of partition, and Pakistanis considered the Hindus to be agents of India.
He criticised the joint election and called for reserving seats for Hindus based on population.
Home minister Asaduzzaman Khan was scheduled to attend the rally as the chief guest. But he did not finally attend.
About the absence of the home minister, Gobinda Pramanik said that he did not come for an ‘unexplained reason’.
Jatiya Party lawmaker Sayed Abu Hossain Babla hailed late president Hussain Mohammad Ershad for protecting the rights of Hindus in Bangladesh. He said he would speak for Hindu rights in parliament.
Bidhan Bihari Goswami, the Mohajote president, chaired the rally.
