Sir,

Bangladesh held their national election on Oct 1st and BNP, led

by Ms. Khaleda Zia in alliance with Fundamentalist

Jamait-e-Islami emerged the victor. Immediately savage

atrocities were unleashed upon the minority Hindu and other

religious communities. Gangs rampaged into Hindu localities,

looted and burnt down homes, attacked and killed people, gang

raped women in public and took women as booty. Hindu

temples were burnt down and deities destroyed. Victims were

thundered to leave Bangladesh and to go to India. The rampage

spread across Bangladesh very fast.

 

Barishal, Bagherhat and Firujpur are severely affected. In

Barishal numerous women were gang-raped and tortured

inhumanely. According to Daily Star and other newspapers, BNP

and Jamait allies went on barbaric rampage in Chandshi,

Bahadurpur, Barthi, Pingolkati, Ashukati, Agaizara and numerous

other places on minorities for their support of Awami League.

They gang-raped women publicly, gouged eyes, slaughtered any

one in their way. An eyewitness says "you name any sorts of

barbaric misdeeds, these Islamic fundamentalists have

committed them all". The way two teens from Dhanduba under

Gournadi sub-district were raped will shame the entire world.

They have even poisoned the ponds so that minorities cannot

even drink the water.

 

Acts of sheer brutality are reported from Rajshahi,

Chapainababganj, Pabna, Atgoria, Kashinathpur and other

northern districts of Bangladesh. Hindu minorities from Dinajpur,

Takurgawn, Goaplpur, Tarash Sirajganj, Ullapara, Gaibanda and

Shahajadpur are already leaving the country. The indigenous

people along with Christian and Buddhist are also feeling the

heat. Most of the victims stated that no police protection was

seen anywhere. Minorities in Bangladesh have no government

protection even in normal times against rape and abduction,

forcible occupation of property & business, coercion and forced

conversion to Islam.

 

Eyewitnesses are afraid that the situation has deteriorated so

fast it may surpass the painful happenings of Dec '92 or Oct '90

when on each occasion over three thousand Hindu temples

were destroyed, thousands of women raped, hundreds of

thousands of homes burnt & businesses looted and millions of

Hindus cleansed. If not intervened it may even touch the pathetic

1971 war, when Pakistan army and Islamic Razakars killed

close to three million Hindus, raped million Hindu women and

cleansed ten million Hindus who took refuge in secular India.

 

However there is one silver lining this time: though slim yet a

section of Bangladesh media is reporting at least a partial

account of the pogrom at great personal risk. Following Internet

editions can be browsed for this bold, honest journalistic act: -

The Human rights and women rights groups are afraid that if it

continued, then Hindus will be wiped out. Present government

made light of the atrocities which encouraged the Islamic

fanatics to further destruction.

 

To live a life in Islamic theocracy is a challenge everyday to a

non-Muslim. Yet after every few years ethnic cleansing, rape and

forced conversion takes place. Same thing happened in '92

when Ms. Khaleda Zia won her first prime ministerial bid .

In such a grave situation human-rights groups, media,

intellectuals, NGOs and governments of civilized nations

preferred to remain silent.

 

We urge you, the secretary General of the august world body, to

please act swiftly to stop the carnage, to make reparations to the

victims and initiate ways to stop such dehumanizing acts forever

in this Islamic theocracy of Bangladesh.

 

With all the expectations so that Bangladesh Hindus, Buddhists

and Christians have a chance to live their life with safety and

security,

 

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

 

Sincerely,
