The Hindus who stayed behind in Bangladesh during the partition had fought for an independent undivided India, not for an independent Pakistan. Yet today, those are the very Hindus being oppressed and humiliated there.

Incidents like temple vandalism, atrocities against women, forced conversions, forced marriages, rape, desecration of deity idols and even obscene gestures standing in front of Durga Puja pandals are taking place in Bangladesh. All such incidents must be stopped immediately!
