UP News: Bangladesh is in the news these days for the attacks on its Hindu community. Incidents of minority Hindus being continuously targeted by Islamic fundamentalists have increased. Regular reports from Bangladesh reveal incidents of attacks on Hindus and demolition of temples, which not only raise questions about the religious situation there, but also point to an overall human rights crisis.Anger and reaction of the Ulemas of IndiaThere is deep anger among the Muslim Ulemas of India regarding this atrocity being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh. In this context, an important meeting was held at Handi Wali Mosque in Mumbai, in which All India Sunni Jamiat Ulama, Raza Academy and Jamiat Ulama-e-Ahle Sunnat jointly called an emergency meeting of the Ulemas. In this meeting, local Ulemas and Sheikhs expressed their concern and anger on this issue.‘We are ready to take to the streets’Chairing the meeting, founder and head of Raza Academy, Haji Muhammad Saeed Noori, termed the attacks in Bangladesh as not only reprehensible but also against Islamic teachings and human rights. He said, "Atrocities and excesses in any country are not only sad but also reprehensible." Haji Noori appealed to the Bangladesh government to take strict measures to immediately stop the attacks on the Hindu community and ensure the safety of their temples. If the Bangladesh government does not act on this, then strong protests will be held across India in collaboration with Raza Academy and other organizations.Strict warning to Bangladesh governmentHaji Noori also raised questions on the unrest arising under the rule of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He said, "Under the rule of Sheikh Hasina, earlier Bengali Muslim youth were seen protecting temples. Now what has happened that Hindu minorities are being attacked?" He appealed to the head of the interim government of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yusuf, to keep a close watch on the rioters and take special measures for the safety of minorities.Impact on the image of BangladeshShahzada Sher Millat Maulana Izzaz Ahmed Kashmiri, who attended this meeting, said, "If the attacks in Bangladesh are not stopped soon, it will affect the image of Bangladesh worldwide." He warned that if the attacks do not stop, the Bangladeshi embassy in India will be surrounded.Islam will always stand against oppressionMaulana Khalilur Rahman Noori said, "Oppression is unacceptable in any form, whether it is in our country, Bangladesh or Palestine." He believed that the strong message of Islam is that we should always stand against oppression and help the victims.Appeal to the Indian governmentMaulana Amanullah Raza appealed to the Indian government to investigate the incidents happening in Bangladesh, so that the alcohol-loving elements in India cannot take advantage of the situation there. He said, "All Muslims of India stand and will stand with the Bangladeshi minorities."ConclusionThe incidents of attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh are not only affecting the religious atmosphere there, but are also making this issue serious at an international level. This is a clear message from the Ulemas of India that they will always stand to protect the rights of minority communities. The Bangladesh government should take immediate action in this matter, so that the situation there does not worsen and the image of Bangladesh in the international community is not adversely affected.
