NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has called upon Bangladeshi authorities to take decisive steps in curbing violence against minorities and ensuring justice for the victims and immediate release of those unjustly imprisoned, including religious leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement by general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale on Saturday, RSS also asked the Indian govt to intensify diplomatic efforts to address the situation, which includes engaging with international institutions and govts to highlight the plight of minorities in Bangladesh and mobilising global support.
Demanding an immediate stop to atrocities against Hindus and release of Das, Hosabale said: “RSS strongly condemns these acts. Instead of taking appropriate steps to stop these incidents, the present govt of Bangladesh and other concerned agencies have remained a mute spectator. Out of helplessness, when Bangladeshi Hindus resorted to raising their voice democratically for self-protection, to suppress their voice, a new phase of injustice and oppression has visibly emerged,” adding that the arrest was unfair, and called “upon govt of Bangladesh to immediately stop the atrocities being committed against Hindus and release Pujya Shri Chinmoy Krishna Das ji from the prison.”
RSS also appealed to the Indian govt to continue efforts to stop attacks on Hindus and take necessary steps as soon as possible to build global opinion in its support.
