The main causes of the violation of the human rights are Islamic fanatics and
militancy.
More than 10 years back it is reported in the Far Eastern Economic Review that 'the
cocoon of terrorism" is taking place in the southern part of Chittagong, Bangladesh.
Recently a rohingya person is arrested in Hydrabad, India, in connection with the
bomb blast In Burdwan, West Bengal India. Burdwan became the operating center of
terrorist activities when Bangladesh is not a save heaven. Islamic institute like
madrashas are popping up like mushrooms in the Indo-Bangladesh border and
Bangladesh-Burma border. These are routes of terrorism. It reflects the whole
network. Both the governments of India and Bangladesh are working on it to
eradicate the terrorism. It might help the survival of the minorities.
Minority community cannot survive without the help of the major Islamic community
and the government of Bangladesh. Demographic change is the evident. If the trend
continues minorities will be rooted out by
Converting to Islam
Leaving the country
Facing death
We are here to demand protection, security, justice and rehabilitation to uphold the
human rights situation in Bangladesh. Trials of special acts can be imposed as
planned before and still which is not implemented yet. Identify the perpetrators and
punish according to the law. Make the law and enforcement forces and the local
authority responsible and compensate if they cannot give proper protection in their
areas.
Therefore we are calling upon the majority Islamic community of Bangladesh,
Bangladesh government and the civilized world to come to the protect the people of
other faiths. Your understanding, support and collective effort is essential for the
minority communities in Bangladesh.
Finally to curve down the trend and to prevent the flow some essential steps are to
be considered.
Return of the 1972 constitution for secular Bangladesh
Minority protection bill to protect from the culture of impunity
Minority welfare ministry to rehabilitate
2001 Shahabuddin commission report is to be published

We wish to live together in peace, harmony and with tranquility. Thank you for
listening patiently,
