United Nations has demanded an end to the religiously motivated violence against minorities in Bangladesh and an impartial investigation into the recent attacks on the Hindu community.
“Recent attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh fuelled by hate speech on social media, are against the values of the Constitution and need
to stop,” Mia Seppo, UN resident coordinator in Bangladesh, said in a statement on Monday. “We call upon Government to ensure protection of minorities and an impartial probe. We call upon all to join hands to strengthen inclusive tolerant Bangladesh.”
