 "US Congressmen raise alarm over anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh")
The US lawmakers have seriously raised their concern about the brutal killing of Hindu man in Bangladesh. The lawmakers condemned the act of repression in Bangladesh and the growing tensions after the death of student leader Osman Hadi.
Indian American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi also condemned the targeted mob killing of Dipu Chandra Das, and called for the country’s security amid rising instability and unrest.
Krishnamoorthi, an Illinois Democrat, called on Bangladeshi authorities to ensure accountability, protect religious minorities, and restore the rule of law to prevent further loss of lives.
“I am appalled by the targeted mob killing of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu man in Bangladesh—an act of violence amid a period of dangerous instability and unrest,” Krishnamoorthi said in a statement Sunday as quoted by PTI.
“While authorities have reported arrests, the Government of Bangladesh must aggressively pursue a full and transparent investigation and prosecute all those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. It must also take urgent action to protect Hindu communities and other religious minorities from further violence. For the sake of all Bangladeshis, this unrest must end and the rule of law must be upheld,” he further added.
New Yorkers also expressed their deep anguish against the atrocities. New York State Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar expressed her feelings and shared that she is deeply affected by the incident and the instability in Bangladesh. She rose her voice about the ongoing violence against Bangladesh’s Hindu minority, exemplified by the mob lynching of Dipu Chandra Das.
