The issue of violence against the Hindu community in Bangladesh also echoed in Canada.
It is reported that Indian-origin MP Chandra Arya expressed concern over the condition of Hindus in Bangladesh.
He said that whenever there is trouble in Bangladesh, Hindus have to bear the brunt of it. During this, he also presented statistics related to the declining population of the community in the country.
Arya wrote, ‘I am deeply worried about the violence in Bangladesh targeting many minorities including Hindus, Buddhists and Christians.
Whenever there is instability in Bangladesh, religious minorities, especially the Hindu community, bear the brunt.
The population share of religious minorities has declined rapidly since Bangladesh gained independence in 1971.
He said, ‘This figure has come down from 23.1 percent to 9.6 percent, which includes about 20 percent Hindus, of which about 8.5 are Hindus.
Canadian Hindus who have families in Bangladesh are worried about their families, their temples and their properties.
He informed, ‘He will hold a rally on Parliament Hill next Monday, 23 September, to tell the current situation there. Canadian Buddhists and Christians will also participate in it.’
Attacks on Hindus
Violence had intensified in Bangladesh since the beginning of August. During that time, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also had to leave her post and leave Bangladesh for safety.
Currently, he is in India. During the violence, there were many reports of Hindu families being targeted in many areas of Bangladesh.
However, there were reports that Mohammad Yunus, the head of the interim government that took over after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, had contacted the Hindu community.
Apart from the houses and shops of Hindu families, temples were also damaged at many places.
