VHP Leaders Urge Amit Shah to Ensure Safety of Hindus in Bangladesh Amid Unrest

Top leaders of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) met with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging immediate action to protect Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. This follows recent violence and persecution after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation. VHP has set up an emergency helpline for affected communities.

Top Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) functionaries on Friday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging swift action to ensure the safety of Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh.

Following the resignation and flight of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to India, Bangladesh has been engulfed in violence. Hindu temples, households, and businesses have been targeted extensively.

Vishva Hindu Parishad president Alok Kumar and secretary general Bajrang Bagra conveyed to Shah the distress of the Hindu community in India about the ongoing atrocities. They demanded urgent measures for the safety of these communities.

Shah assured the VHP leaders that the government is actively addressing the matter, working with a high level of sensitivity and seriousness. He expressed hope that the new head of Bangladesh's interim government, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, would swiftly tackle the incidents of persecution.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also emphasized the importance of Hindu safety in his congratulatory message to Yunus. Measures are being taken to protect all Indians, including students, in Bangladesh.

The VHP announced the establishment of an emergency helpline to assist affected individuals, with details to be released soon.
