In response to the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh, a group of Bangladeshi Hindus staged a protest in front of the White House here in Washington DC, on Sunday. They have requested the current USA President, Mr. Barrack Obama to bring an end to the “persecution” of religious minorities in the country.
It has been reported that the said protest had been organised by Hindu Buddhist Christians Unity Council, USA, and further that “dozens of protesters conveyed their deep concern regarding the allegedly passive role of the Bangladeshi government in coming to the rescue of the affected or in taking legal measures against the perpetrators.”
A memorandum was submitted to the White House in respect of the same, which said that “The destruction of Hindu households and temples, the usurping of Hindu lands and occasional killing and rape have become a norm in the present day Bangladesh.”
As a matter of fact just recently, there were reports of two premeditated and preplanned attacks were made, and here too, the government did nothing to help the victims or their families. The party in power has been shockingly lackadaisical in this regard.
The same organisation had held a similar protest in front of the Trump Towers in New York, last month.
The memorandum that was submitted to Mr. Obama reportedly said that “We would like to request you, if it is possible, to convey our anxiety regarding Bangladesh to the next administration.”
A protester named Sitangshu Guha said that “President-elect Donald Trump had attended a charity event before the election to raise funds for the terrorism. I am sure, he would take up our cause too.”
