In his recent paper entitled as \u201cSeventh Five Year Planning (2016-20) in Bangladesh: The Dream and Reality\u201d, the eminent Economist Prof. Dr. Abul Barkat told that over 1.1 Crore (over 11 million) Hindus had left Bangladesh under Religious persecution and discriminations from\u00a01964 to 2013<\/p>\n

Prof. Barkat was speaking to a Seminar at Rajshahi University in Bangladesh on Sunday (17.07.2016) for divulging the pointers of poverty alleviation, elimination of discrimination and economic development for all. The seminar was jointly organised\u00a0by Bangladesh Economic Forum and \u00a0Economics Department of Rajshahi University.<\/p>\n

Clarifying his view Dr. Barkat expressed that the GDP and consideration of economic development in current parameters were unable to find any direct connection to change the status of the economically vulnerable groups. In most of the cases such data deliverance did not any good for the minorities, tribal and marginal people in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Prof.\u00a0Barkat pointed out the regular evacuation of the\u00a0minorities, tribal and marginal people living in the plain or hilly areas from their rights of lands, water-bodies and forests. In an estimation Prof. Barkat said that over 25 lakh acres lands of minority and tribal people have been forcefully occupied by the perpetrators belong to both ruling and opposition parties as if in an fundamental attitude of Islamic perpetuity.<\/p>\n

Lashing out on the \u2018The Enemy Property (Custody and Registration) Act\u00a0of 1965\u2019 and its subsequent versions of \u2018The East Pakistan Enemy Property (Lands and Buildings Administration and Disposal Order of 1966)\u2019, \u2018The Enemy Property (Continuance of Emergency Provision) Ordinance No. 1 of 1969, or the latest avatar of it, \u2018The Vested and Non-Resident Property (Administration) Act (XLVI of 1974)\u2019, Dr Barkat told all these Acts and Ordinances were engineered to disown the rights of Hindu minority and other\u00a0non-Muslims\u00a0from the soil of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

As per Dr Barkat\u00a0on an average 632 Hindus left Bangladesh per day in the last 49 years from 1964 to 2013. As such, 1,13,03,32o (49 x 365 x 632) Hindu minorities have left Bangladesh from 1964-2013. The reasons are obvious and related with Islamic brutality, persecution and discrimination.<\/p>\n

In 1947, Hindus constituted nearly 30% of Bangladesh\u2019s population. By 1991, an estimated 20 million Hindus were \u201cmissing\u201d from Bangladesh. Today, Hindus comprise less than 9% of the population. \u00a0Political and religious violence continued to plague Bangladesh throughout 2014 and the first half of 2015. Jamat e\u00a0Islami, Islamic Chatra Shivir , and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) engaged in violent street riots, forced economic blockades and shutdowns known as \u201chartals\u201d, and carried out large-scale attacks on religious minorities and secular activists.<\/p>\n

The ruling Awami League government is\u00a0also responsible for the current unrest by repressing political dissent, imposing restrictions on freedom of speech, and failing to protect minority communities from violence. Moreover, security forces committed widespread human rights abuses.\u00a0(Source: Hindus in South Asia and the Diaspora \u2013 A Survey of Human Rights 2014-2015 by HAF).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a matter of fact, the Human Rights issues in Bangladesh for the minority, tribal and marginal people are in a very deplorable condition. The present Govt in Bangladesh,\u00a0ruling party Awami League (AL) and Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina\u00a0are completely failure to give safety-security and any comfort to the vulnerable minority people in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

See how some AL perpetrators are continuing an Islamic torture upon a Hindu family at Nabinagar in Brahmanbaria Dist. Is there any law and order in Bangladesh?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Islamic Bangladesh is growing fast as a Jihad-desh. Taliban and ISIS goons are desperate to\u00a0take the control of Bangladesh in reality. Killing minorities, hacking the liberals, threatening everybody at any point, attacking restaurants shouting Allah ho Akbar or imposing Sharia and Halal by Govt wings are the indicators of the future of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Postscript: Unfortunately, most of these minority victims in Bangladesh belong to so called \u2018low caste\u2019 (now synonymous to the well used identity of\u00a0Dalit) Hindus. They are\/were\u00a0victimised by state sponsored Islamic fundamentalists of Bangladesh!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
