The acts of violence and discrimination against Hindus violate their fundamental rights and also undermine the principles of peace, coexistence, and religious freedom that India and Bangladesh have had historically.Meanwhile, in Bangladesh too, concerns have been expressed on the arrest of Das. “The sedition charges against Chinmoy Krishna Das are very unfortunate as he like every other Bangladeshi has every right to propagate his views,” Professor Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah told .In Parliament on Thursday, the Indian government again called upon the Bangladesh government to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and minorities in their places of worship.”Several incidents of desecration and damages to Hindu temples and deities in Bangladesh have been reported in the past few months. The Indian government has expressed its concerns about such incidents which includes the attack on a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka and the theft at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple during Durga Puja,” said the Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh in Parliament on Thursday.The primary responsibility for the protection of life and liberty of all citizens of Bangladesh including minorities rests with the Bangladesh government, Singh added.
