New Delhi: In his Independence Day Speech from the ramparts of Red Square, Prime Minister Narendra Modi I was hoping that the situation in Bangladesh Bangladeshi President Abdullah Abdullah said the situation would improve soon, though he expressed concern for the safety of Hindus and other minorities in that country. “As a neighbouring country, I can understand the concern over what has happened in Bangladesh. I hope the situation there will normalise as soon as possible. The concern of 140 million countrymen to ensure the safety of Hindus and minorities there is an issue of concern for all. India always wants our neighbouring countries to follow the path of prosperity and peace. We are committed to peace… In the days to come, we will continue to wish Bangladesh well on its ‘Vikas Yatra’ because we have the welfare of humanity at heart.”
Earlier, while extending his wish to Professor Muhammad Yunus, the head of the newly formed interim government of BangladeshPM Modi had sent a clear message on the atrocities committed against the Hindu community. He expressed concern for the protection of Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh after several reports of attacks on Hindu families surfaced. “My best wishes to Professor Muhammad Yunus as he assumes his new responsibilities. We hope for an early return to normalcy, ensuring the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority communities,” PM Modi had said.
For the uninitiated, Muhammad Yunus, 84, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his pioneering work on microcredit, was appointed by President Mohammed Shahabuddin as head of the interim government after Prime Minister Hasina resigned and fled to India following widespread protests against her regime over a controversial jobs quota system.
Yesterday, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi AdityanathWhile speaking at a function in Lucknow on Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, he said, “The date and the faces may have changed, but the nature of the incidents is the same as in 1947. It is still happening in PakistanIt is happening in Bangladesh.”
“At that time, 10 lakh Hindus and Sikhs were killed. Even today we see the same arson, looting and harassment of daughters and sisters. When will we learn from the mistakes of the past?” He said that “more than 1.5 crore Hindus are crying to save their honour in Bangladesh“But the so-called secularists of India are not saying a word because they fear that if they raise their voice in favour of the weak, their vote bank will slip away. They are worried about their vote bank but are not saying a word in favour of humanity because they have continued with the politics of divide and rule since Partition,” Adityanath added.
