The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has expressed serious concern over the incidents of violence against Hindus, Buddhists and other minority communities in Bangladesh during the movement for regime change in the last few days.
Condemning the violence on Hindus and other minorities, RSS Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale said, “cruelty like targeted killings, looting, arson and heinous crimes against women belonging to Hindu and other religious minorities and attacks on Hindu Mandirs in Bangladesh are intolerable”.
“We expect the interim Government of Bangladesh to take strict action to immediately stop such incidents. Also, the Government must make proper arrangements to protect the lives, property, and honour of the victims”, he further said.
He also requested the world community and all political parties in Bharat to stand in solidarity with the persecuted communities like Hindu, Buddhist, etc., in this critical time.

RSS has also urged the Union Government of Bharat to make every effort to ensure the safety of Hindus, Buddhists, etc. in Bangladesh. “As a friendly neighbour, the Government of Bharat is trying to play an able role in this situation in Bangladesh”, he said.
Earlier on August 6, Alok Kumar, International President of Vishva Hindu Parishad, said that our neighbour Bangladesh is trapped in a strange uncertainty, violence, and anarchy. After the resignation of the Hasina government and her leaving the country, the process of formation of an interim government is going on. In this hour of crisis, Bharat stands firmly with the entire society of Bangladesh as a friend.
“In the recent past, religious places, business establishments and houses of Hindus, Sikhs and other minorities have also been rampaged in Bangladesh. There is hardly any district left in Bangladesh which has not become a target of their violence and terror”, he said.
“The situation is worrying and it is the responsibility of the world community to take effective action for the safety of minorities and protection of human rights in Bangladesh”, said VHP president.
