In a statement MEA, Government of India expresses deep concern over the arrest and denial of bail to Shri Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das, who is also the spokesperson of the Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote. After this incident, multiple attacks on Hindus and other minorities were done by extremist in Bangladesh. India urges Bangladesh authorities to ensure the ‘safety and security of Hindus and all minorities’, including their right of freedom of peaceful assembly and expression.
There are several documented cases that minorities in Bangladesh face arson, looting, vandalism, and desecration of homes, businesses and places of worship. It is very unfortunate that instead of addressing the causes of these incidents, the focus is shifted to many religious leaders who are making lawful demands through peaceful gatherings. Moreover MEA said, “With concern the attacks on minorities protesting peacefully against the arrest of Shri Chinmoy Das.”
