Hindus demand 60 reserved seats in Bangladesh Parliament

[BHarwana]

Look at the off topic hate you spew

No my friend it was not hate it was a technical solution. My apologizes if my words hurt you in some sense but the what said is the requirement of the time

20 percent job quota for 8 percent of the population

And Hindus of Bangladesh are hardly the backward class. The sole reason Muslims of united Bengal supported the 1905 partition was that the Hindus were dominating the business and agriculture and hence exploiting the less developed Muslim population. And this was the reason Muslims of Bengal overwhelmingly supported the idea of Pakistan with much more enthusiasm than we saw in West Pakistani provinces.

While I confess that I don't know the present situation of Hindu community in Bangladesh, but looking at history of the region I think they should be well educated and doing well in business and industry.

the demands should be done if indian bangal emerge with bangladesh.
otherwise once again muslims will rule entire india.

kill them like gujrat incident.
hindus have habit to ask enough but deliver nothing for muslims instead they want to capture everything which they cant now.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

It's interesting idea , of reservation of seats however in end I think most countries of world function on your over all service to "whole" country.

That is the point normally missed in such demands.

If your ideas or thinking is correct people will vote for you

Hindu rights activists and leaders have demanded introduction of special quota system for the "religious minorities" in the Parliament and job sector. Bangladesh Hindu Parishad made the call at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity yesterday.

They demanded 60 reserved seats in the House while 20 percent quota in government jobs was also sought. Putting forward five-point-demand, General Secretary of the Parishad Sajan Kumar Mitra claimed those were to protect the Hindu community as well as democracy in Bangladesh. The Parishad President Dipankar Shikder said: "The Hindu population was 40 percent before and after 1971 it has been dropped to 8 percent. Frequent threat, repression, attack and harassment compelled the community people to leave the country." "We want to live in the country. Please ensure our security and consider the five-point-demand," he urged the government.

This isn't an Islamic based republic (yet). There is no need for such a thing in a secular country. Though, with AL wanting to win over the religious conservatives in recent times I honestly can't blame them for making this demand.

We need to get rid of quotas...not introduce new ones!

This sort of affirmative action does more harm then good...

Next we'll have the jamaati dogs saying, hey we represent Muslims...we want reserved seats (ignoring the fact Muslims make up 90% of the population)

True, if we have quotas then what is the point in having democracy and elections. They should either get elected on their merit or simply shut up.

Even though I agree with you in principle, I want to see the reaction of these people who founded their nations on the very foundations of reserved seats for minorities.

Their crass hypocrisy would be on full display when they reject this demand.

 

[Proudpakistaniguy]

why just 60 seats?
All Bangaldeshi parliament belong to them as long as Haseena is PM

 

[Jobless Jack]

LOL

bengali hindus are seriously trying to piss of the muslim majority are they not ?

for a population that is only 8 % it wants 20% representation !

power is going to their head..

if bd govt actually listens to them.. dont blame the violence on the muslim extremists.. this time it may just be the majority

 

[graphican]

They are 8% in population, demanding 20% quota? Doesn't sound right.

 

[my2cents]

many hindus smuggled their money out of Bangladesh into india and recognizes indian hegemony over Bangladesh. First of all kick those hindus out of Bangladesh. Late awami MP Suranjit Sen Gupta family is one of the example.

You are doing the same thing to Hindus that Pakistan was accused in 1971. You know how it turned out. Even after 40 years of independence you guys have been unable to integrate your minorities. They feel disenfranchised and marginalized.
If it is true that Hindus send their money to their Relatives in India, what is wrong in that?
Many Bangladeshi people work here in India and send their hard earned money to their families in Bangladesh.

Do you really want our own citizens to be kicked out? Hindus are capable of contributing more than the Muslims in BD, because they are more educated than us, and they are less interested to talk on the abstract things and waste time. Even during the pre-British Muslim time, Hindus were appointed in the important administrative posts, except in the military and Adalat.

Hindu Parishad demands for 60 Parliamentary seats & 20% quota.
Now asking the Charals - What else more do you require? 60 seats in our National Parliament, demanding 20% quota for all Government jobs? What’s your composition? 7or 8% max. Now let us know, the % of such quota reserved for 20% Muslims in your mother state? Why should you all be allotted 20% quota? Are you all our granddaughters’ spouses?
চাড়ালদের জিগাই। আর কি কি চাস তোরা? ৬০টা এমপি, ২০ ভাগ সরকারী কোটা দিতে হইবো! তোরা আছস কত পার্সেন্ট? ৭ বা ৮? তোদের মাদার কান্ট্রিতে ২০ ভাগ মুসলমানদের কয় ভাগ কোটা দেয়? তোমরা কি নাতিন জামাই?
Now please answer, why are you all demanding for a separate quota? Are you all not the citizens of Bangladesh? Availing the benefits/facilities of a citizen, and will continue to do so. If you all feel that you all are Delhi’s citizens, earning and living a comfortable lifestyle in our country, and transferring all you wealth, working as agents of RAW and emptying our coffers—then cross over the border for forever and avail the hybrid quota and work as a day laborer.
আচ্ছা, তোমরা আলাদা কোটা চাও ক্যান? তোমরা কি বাংলাদেশের নাগরিক নও? নাগরিক হলে সবকিছুই পাচ্ছ, এবং পাবা। আর যদি মনে করো দিল্লির নাগরিক, এখানে শুধু কামাই করবা আর খাবা, আর ওপারে মালটা পাঠাবা, র-য়ের এজেন্ট হিসাবে দেশটারে ফোকলা করবা-- তবে একেবারেই ওপারে চলে যাও, সেখানে গিয়া হান্ড্রেড পার্সেন্ট কোটা ভোগ করো, কুলি মজুরগিরি করো গিয়া।

Kindly note that there are some fanatics Hindus who all are planning creating about independent Bangabhumi, that they would break Bangladesh and create an independent Hindu Republic,"

Well the Hindus in Bangladesh is different from those in india. Hindus in Bd don't drink cow pee you know.

Why are all these Pakistanis getting hyped?
