The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on November 30 urged the Bangladesh government to release jailed ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das immediately and ensure that the atrocities on Hindus are stopped.
RSS general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale also appealed to the Government of India to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in the eastern neighbour and take necessary steps to build global opinion in its support “as soon as possible”.
“The attacks, murders, looting, arson, as well as inhuman atrocities by Islamic fundamentalists on Hindus, women, and all other minorities in Bangladesh, are extremely worrying, and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh condemns this,” he said.
Hosabale accused the interim government in Bangladesh and other agencies of being silent spectators, who are not trying to mitigate the situation.
“Out of helplessness, a new phase of injustice and atrocities seems to be emerging against the Hindus of Bangladesh to suppress the voice raised by them in a democratic way for self-defense,” the RSS general secretary said.
“It is unjust for the Bangladesh government to send ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is leading the Hindus in such peaceful demonstrations, to jail,” he added.
Earlier this week, Bangladesh Police arrested International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport area in Dhaka while he was traveling to Chittagong.
“The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh appeals to the Bangladesh government to ensure that the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh stop immediately and release Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das from imprisonment,” Hosabale said.
“The RSS also appeals to the Indian government to continue its efforts to stop the atrocities on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and take necessary steps as soon as possible to build global opinion in its support,” he added.
At this crucial time, the RSS general secretary said, India and the global community and institutions should stand with the victims of Bangladesh and express their support, and demand that their respective governments make every possible effort to ensure that atrocities on the Hindus and other minorities are stopped in Bangladesh immediately.
This is necessary for world peace and brotherhood, he added.
