The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unit, Parishad, held a sit-in on the corner of New Market in the city on Saturday morning.
During the sit-down program, traffic from the New Market junction to Chartumukhi stopped at around 11:15 pm. Thousands of leaders and activists from different organizations from different cities and upazilas participated in the program.
Rana Dasgupta, the organization’s general secretary, said at the rally: “I want a full trial and investigation into the atrocities I have spoken of.” Strict punishment identifying those responsible: I want it. Those arrested on false charges want to be released from prison. Those hackers want to be punished.
“If the government does not demand, we will announce the toughest program. If necessary, I will give a program like Long March. I will walk from Chittagong to Dhaka.”
Addressing the Prime Minister, he said: “Honorable Prime Minister, some ministers and leaders in your government have a hard time trusting us. Because they don’t do what they say, they don’t say what they do. You have often played a role in protecting the minority interests. He threw water from above but we couldn’t see that water from below. Since you have teams within your party, you have Pakistan in your administration.

“The prime minister wants minorities to be at peace. But there are doubts about how many people the team wants. The rise of communalism wants to engulf Bangladesh. They want to consume the independence of Bangladesh.”
Thanking Hefazat’s central leader, Nur Hossain Qasemi, Rana Dasgupta said: “In a statement yesterday, he said that the government must take a firm stand against anti-human rights activities. Expressing deep concern over the incidents in Lalmonirgat and Comilla, he said that one should be on the lookout for any conspiracies against communal harmony Sunipun has requested to take action against the conspirators through an investigation.
“Unfortunately, Honorable Minister of the Interior, you are close to us. Talk to you about the crisis of the minority community four to six times a year. Today when you say, being exaggerated. So what is the leader of Hefazat-e-Islam exaggerating? ? “
He said: “All minority organizations in the country are forced to go out into the field due to political reality. We never wanted the minorities of this country to fight for equal rights in the golden jubilee of independence.

“It just came to our notice then. The minority community in this country has insulted someone’s religion. We respect our religion. At the same time, we are equally respectful of other religions. But accusations of insulting religion are being attacked. Students they are being expelled from college and university. Kushal Chakraborty has received death threats. The devout Shahidunnabi has been killed not only for attacking the minority community but also for insulting religion. “
Referring to the incident in Muradnagar in Comilla via Ramu Nasirnagar since 2010, Rana Dasgupta said: “The pattern is one, the communal forces are continuously raping and torturing our girls. I would like to say with sadness that I have not noticed any role of protest or resistance from any political party in these events.
“In 1964, when Ayub Khan attacked minorities to confuse the anti-Ayub movement, the political leaders headed by Ataur Rahman Khan, the chief minister of East Bengal, and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib formed the Committee to Prevent Communalism. The brochure “Bangali Rukhiya Dharao”. Where is that political leadership today? “
He said: “He has already threatened to turn Bangladesh into a Hindu-free country by 2025. Today, the whole world has become a global village. Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians may be a minority in Bangladesh. They are not a minority in the whole world. Prosperity is not possible by weakening minorities in one country and we have to consider whether minorities in other countries will also be weakened by the weakening of minorities in Bangladesh.

“If anyone thinks that the minority will be driven out of the country by attacks, today’s rally is saying that as long as there are attacks, we will be united in protest. We want to overcome communalism and embark on the fight to restore Bengali nationalist consciousness.”
Expressing his solidarity with the program, poet and journalist Abul Momen said: “We have not been able to bring the changes in our constitution back to the spirit of independence. Today communalism has established itself in politics and society. Today we are far from the aspirations of a democratic and humane Bangladesh.
“We did not expect such a Bangladesh. The persecution of minorities and residents has increased during the Crown period. There was no difference of religion in the liberation war. That is why we have to build a united and democratic Bangladesh.”
Professor Jin Bodhi Bhikkhu said: “We want to go back to the constitution of ’72. No one is better today. Can’t you hear us? Injustice is being done to minority students. If the torture attack is not brought to justice, we will be forced to turn away from you. “
Council leaders Chandan Talukder, Shyamal Kumar Palit, Ashok Das, Brahmachari Gadadhar Das and others spoke on the occasion.
At the end of the rally, the procession went from the Newmarket turn to the Kotwali turn and ended at the press club.
