Prajna Pravah Appeals to UNHRC Over Minority Attacks in Bangladesh

Prajna Pravah, an RSS-affiliated body, has appealed to the UNHRC to send a fact-finding mission to investigate attacks against Hindu and other minorities in Bangladesh. They urge immediate action to safeguard dignity, lives, and property, and call for justice, humanitarian assistance, and international support for affected communities.

Prajna Pravah, an organization affiliated with the RSS, has made a formal appeal to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to deploy a fact-finding mission in Bangladesh, citing numerous attacks on Hindu and other minority communities.

The appeal emphasizes that one of the main responsibilities of the UNHRC is to safeguard human rights worldwide. Prajna Pravah has publicly shared a draft of their appeal online, seeking support from the public.

The collective, comprising intellectuals, academicians, lawyers, and concerned citizens, expressed their distress over the situation in an official appeal. They urged the UN body to immediately send a team to Bangladesh to assess the situation, communicate with victims, and document human rights violations. In addition, they called on Bangladeshi authorities to protect minority communities and ensure justice for the victims. The organization also asked the UNHRC to provide humanitarian aid and facilitate safe refuge for those affected.
