BJP to march to Dhaka to protect minorities

[BanglaBhoot]

The BJP will organise ‘long march to Dhaka’ on Monday next to protest alleged atrocities on religious minorities in Bangladesh. The party has raised five-point demands to ensure safety and defend rights of minority groups in the neighbouring country.
BJP’s Tripura state president Sunil Dasgupta informed on Saturday that hundreds of party workers and supporters would try to breach border at Akhaura in Agartala on March 18. He said central leaders of the party have approved the agitation programme.
“We know we would be prevented at the border, but we cannot remain silent given unending atrocities on minorities specially Hindus in Bangladesh”, Mr. Dasgupta stated.
He gave a detail account of attacks on minority communities and their places of worship across Bangladesh. “The Hindus in Bangladesh have no security and vulnerable to assaults”, he said.
The BJP raised the issue in Lok Sabha and demanded intervention of central government to protect Bangladeshi Hindus.
Minorities had counted 46 per cent in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, at time of partition in 1947 and the figure reduced to 28 per cent in 1970. Hindus now count 10 per cent.
Mr. Dasgupta lambasted major parties like Congress and CPI (M) for keeping a blind eye on the volatile situation in Bangladesh.
BJP demanded stringent action against culprits responsible for atrocities, security and safety of people from minority groups, a separate ministry to look after welfare of minorities, compensation to affected people, reconstruction and protection of religious places in Bangladesh.

I would rather like them to March to Delhi and ask GOI to take some actions. BTW BD didn't help Rohingyan Muslims, what chance Hindus have.

Nevertheless this is a dangerous escalation. This is, however, very bad for the AL.

How silly. Do you really think bjp cadre will be allowed to breach the boder..

 

[mb444]

I would dearly welcome this move...... Go BJP

 

[scorpionx]

Domestic issues should be given priorities at this moment.Corruption to the core,law and order issues in the capital (recently in MP) and border killings.Whatever happening in Bangladesh is not our problem. Bangladesh has enough sane minds to solve their problems.
Yours thought @BDforever:

How silly. Do you really think bjp cadre will be allowed to breach the boder..

Its about creating a international spectacle.

If US can launch Operation Iraqi Freedom, why can't BJP just do a march to pressurize Indian govt to ask BD govt. to take necessary steps for protection of minorities.

Having said that @MBI Munshi is right. Hindus of BD may be declared as Indian agents and attack on them might increase even more.

I was not suggesting that bjp should not do it. Its how competitive politics work. Just pointing out that there is little chance that BJP cadre will be able to breach the border. So its not any escalation of anything.

Instead of such foolishness they should march to Delhi and try pressurizing GoI into arranging for evacuation of all Bangladeshi Hindus who want to flee prosecution into india and grant them full Indian citizenship

@ How it is bad for Awami Leaque ? Awami Leaque is trying to get such kind of support some internally and externally.

@ I remember, in 1977 Moulana Bashani made such kind of agitation from Dhaka to Farakka Barrage though they were not allowed to cross the border. But it created a huge public support against India.

@ So, minorities were here 46% in 1946/47, 28 % in 1970 and 10 % in 1913. "Ate hindu gelo koi ". I know their "Thikana". Almost all of them are now concentrated opposite of Khulna Division. They had been involved in a great conspiracy. Under the veil of " Bongo Bhumi Andollon" they want to capture the greater Khulna and want to make a separate state. THeir demand is, in 1946/47 the Hindus were evicted by force from the then East Pakistan. At that time their number was around 50 lacs now this figure is now increased upto 1.5 to 2 crores and another 1.5 to 2 crores are scattered throughout Bangladesh. So, "Kella fate". Does Hasina Bibi understands these conspiracy ? Oh ! I see she likes it, in that case she will more uppor hand upon Hindus.

not at all a good step... insted of going to bd they should have done same thing in delhi....

@ "Are bhai ane do na ! Delhi buhat dooir hai >"

It is bad for the AL as they are a political party in a Muslim majority country and it appears they are in league with extremist Hindus across the border. How can this be good for the AL? This is an issue that the BNP and Jamaat-e-islami can exploit and put the AL on the defensive.
