The National Hindu Mahajot on Friday held a protest in Dhaka at the National Press Club, condemning the brutal killing of Dipu Das and alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh.Meanwhile, The North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) condemned the lynching of another Hindu man in Bangladesh, describing the incidents as deeply disturbing and indicative of a broader pattern of violence against religious minorities.
A Hindu man identified as Amrit Mondal was lynched over allegations of extortion. The killing came just a week after Dipu Das was lynched and his body set on fire in Mymensingh following accusations of blasphemy.NAPA executive director Satnam Singh Chahal said the repeated attacks have raised serious concerns about the safety, dignity and human rights of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. “The killing of another Hindu man so soon after the murder of Dipu Chandra Das points to a growing climate of fear and intolerance,” Chahal told PTI.He urged the Bangladesh government to carry out swift, transparent and impartial investigations and ensure strict punishment for those responsible.NAPA also expressed concern over reports of continued intimidation and violence against minority communities, stressing that condemnation alone is insufficient without concrete action on the ground.Dipu Das’ killing triggered widespread protests by factory workers, students and rights groups in Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh.The Hindu community in Bangladesh has faced a series of attacks in recent months, particularly following the ouster of then prime minister Sheikh Hasina in August last year.
