New Delhi: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has expressed b outrage over the ongoing attacks on the Hindu community in Bangladesh. The organization has voiced serious concerns about these incidents, directly questioning the interim government of Bangladesh and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus. The VHP alleges that atrocities against minorities are increasing in the country, and the government remains a silent spectator.
Claims of Six Murders in the Last 18 Days
VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal claimed that six Hindus have been murdered in Bangladesh in the last 18 days. He stated that these are not isolated incidents but a dangerous pattern. According to him, Hindus are being consistently targeted, and law and order appear to have completely failed.
Vinod Bansal said that the killings of Hindus in Bangladesh are not stopping. He described it as a serious human rights crisis and stated that the international community should not remain silent on this issue.
Recent Incidents Heighten Concerns
The VHP spokesperson cited several recent incidents. He reported that a ship owner was murdered. Additionally, a woman, aged between 40 and 50, who was sitting in her home, was allegedly gang-raped and then set on fire while still alive.
Bansal said that such incidents are constantly occurring in the country, but no concrete action is being seen from the government. He alleged that the situation is so severe that ordinary Hindus feel completely insecure.
Direct Accusations Against Muhammad Yunus
The VHP has directly targeted the head of the Bangladesh interim government, Muhammad Yunus. Vinod Bansal said that under the leadership of the so-called Nobel Peace Prize winner, an atmosphere of unrest prevails in the country. He alleged that the government is remaining silent on these incidents and is a silent spectator.
The VHP states that it cannot be expected that such a large number of human rights violations would occur under the rule of a person who has been honored for peace.
Outrage Following the Murder of Sharat Chakraborty Mani
The VHP’s response was further intensified following a murder in the Narsingdi area near Dhaka. According to local media reports, unknown assailants attacked 40-year-old Hindu man Sharat Chakraborty Mani with sharp weapons on Monday night.
According to eyewitnesses and local residents, the attack occurred while Mani was running his grocery store in the Char Sindur market of Palash Upazila. The attackers suddenly arrived, attacked, and fled the scene. Critically injured Mani was taken to the hospital but died en route.
Issue Raised on International Forums
Vinod Bansal has also raised this issue on the international level. He tagged the United Nations Secretary-General, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), questioning whether Islam permits such killings.
He posted on the social media platform X, stating that widespread human rights violations are coming to light under the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
Citing Reports from Human Rights Organizations
VHP spokesperson cited alarming figures from the human rights organization Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK). According to their data, 293 people have died in mob violence since 2024.
He informed that in 2025 alone, 197 deaths occurred due to mob violence, 107 deaths in custody, and 38 extrajudicial killings were recorded. These figures clearly indicate that the situation is continuously deteriorating.
