Nitin Lawrence, a social worker and Secretary of the Chhattisgarh Diocese, has strongly condemned the rising atrocities against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. Lawrence criticized the Bangladeshi government for failing to protect its vulnerable communities and called for swift intervention by Indian leaders and international organizations.
The activist highlighted the alarming increase in attacks, lootings, murders, and violence targeting Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh. He described these acts as blatant human rights violations and emphasized that the global community must address these injustices without delay.
Lawrence expressed deep disappointment over the plight of Hindus and minorities in a country where Indians once played a pivotal role in securing independence. He argued that the Bangladeshi administration’s failure to curb minority persecution reflects poorly on its governance and global reputation.
Calling for action, Lawrence urged Indian President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to prioritize the safety of Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh. He stressed the importance of raising this issue on international platforms and demanded strong diplomatic efforts to hold the Bangladeshi government accountable.
In addition, Lawrence appealed to the United Nations to reconsider Bangladesh’s membership, citing its inability to safeguard human rights. He argued that any nation allowing such atrocities to occur should face global scrutiny and sanctions.
The Chhattisgarh Diocese Secretary also revealed plans to submit a formal memorandum to the Indian government. This document will demand immediate action to protect the rights of Hindus and minorities and seek justice for the victims of ongoing violence.
Lawrence condemned the silence of international organizations and called for a united global effort to address these abuses. He emphasized that the protection of human rights, especially for religious minorities, should be a top priority for all nations.
Nitin Lawrence reiterated that India must take a strong leadership role in advocating for the rights of Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh. He stressed that safeguarding religious freedom is not only a national responsibility but also a global one that requires collective action.
