Bangladesh violence: mistreatment of minorities is a reprehensible act, says Syed Ahmed Bukhari

The Hindu  

Terming mistreatment of minorities as a ‘reprehensible act’, Shahi Imam of Delhi’s Jama Masjid, Syed Ahmed Bukhari, on Tuesday asked the Bangladesh government to stop injustices and assaults against Hindus in the country. As a credible neighbour, a close ally of Bangladesh, and a custodian of shared cultural heritage, I expect the current head of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel laureate, to take immediate steps to curb any injustices against the Hindu minority,” Mr. Bukhari added. He said that after former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s departure to India, the backlash against her saw both Muslim and non-Muslim supporters of the Awami League becoming targets of the unrest that erupted following her removal. Mr. Bukhari said Mr. Yunus should ensure that his international reputation remained untarnished because as a Muslim-majority country, Islam and Islamic jurisprudence inherently leave no room for any form of prejudice or injustice against minorities in Bangladesh.
