The Bengali Hindu community in the United Kingdom has issued a strong condemnation of the Bangladesh government for its continued denial of the atrocities committed against religious minorities, including Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and others. These communities have faced systemic discrimination, violence, and persecution, yet the current regime in Bangladesh has consistently ignored these violations and sought to suppress voices raising awareness of the issue.

The community has also expressed deep concern over the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard, the United States Director of National Intelligence, for her candid statements on the plight of religious minorities in Bangladesh. Gabbard’s remarks, which highlight the suffering of these marginalized groups, have been described as both truthful and necessary. Instead of addressing the issues raised, the Bangladesh government has reportedly sought to discredit her statements and divert attention from the ongoing human rights violations.

Reports indicate that the persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh remains widespread, with incidents of forced conversions, land seizures, violence, and other forms of repression. The government’s failure to protect these communities and its attempts to suppress criticism have been described as deeply troubling, undermining fundamental human rights and perpetuating the suffering of vulnerable populations.

The Bengali Hindu community in the UK has declared its solidarity with Tulsi Gabbard and all advocates for justice for religious minorities in Bangladesh. They have called on the international community to recognize the ongoing human rights violations and hold the Bangladesh government accountable for its failure to safeguard the rights of all citizens, regardless of religion or ethnicity.

The community has urged global leaders, human rights organizations, and concerned individuals to speak out against the persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh. They have emphasized the importance of bringing these issues to the forefront of international discourse and ensuring that the truth is acknowledged and addressed.
