“In India's own soil, there are numerous incidents of atrocities on the people of the minority Muslim community. But they have no shame or regret about it. Interim government's legal advisor Professor Asif Nazrul said that India's 'duplicity is reprehensible and offensive'.
He made the comments in a post on his own verified Facebook page on Friday (November 29).
Citing a Voyage of America Bengal survey, the legal advisor wrote, 'Most people of Bangladesh (64.1 percent) think that the interim government is able to provide more security to the country's minorities than the previous Awami League government. We have seen ourselves—how the people of Bangladesh, including student organizations, madrassas and political parties, have worked for the safety of minorities during the recent Durga Puja. Even after the brutal and provocative killing of lawyer Saiful Islam in Chittagong, the Muslims of Bangladesh have shown infinite restraint and patience.
He also wrote, 'Still, India's undue concern over the situation in Bangladesh has not stopped. There are numerous incidents of atrocities on the people of the minority Muslim community in India's own soil. But they have no shame or regret about it. This duplicity of India is reprehensible and offensive.'
It should be noted that the Indian government and the country's opposition political party Congress have expressed deep concern over the arrest of Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatani Jagran Jot and ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari in a sedition case. Along with this, the party has also expressed concern about the 'insecurity' of religious minorities in Bangladesh.
