The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha of RSS today discussed the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh. It has expressed concern at the inhumane treatment meted out to Hindus and other communities in Bangladesh. The Sabha has been being held in Bengaluru since yesterday. It has sought the intervention of the UN and global community to pressure the Bangladesh government to put a halt to violence against Hindus there.

A statement issued by the sabha says that the continuous decline of the Hindu population in Bangladesh from 22 percent to 7.95 percent indicates an existential crisis. The Sabha also called upon the Hindu community and leaders from different countries and international organisations to raise their voices in solidarity with the Hindu and other minority communities in Bangladesh. The Sabha was of the opinion that atrocities faced by the Hindus at the hands of radical Islamist elements in Bangladesh are clearly a serious case of violation of human rights.
