Silent Tears for the Urn of Suranjit Sengupta

হালনাগাদ: শুক্রবার, ১০ ফেব্রুয়ারী, ২০১৭

Suranjit Sengupta Only Hindu seasoned politician and parliamentarian of Bangladesh, a freedom fighter, eight-time lawmaker since 1970 and one of the youngest members of country’s 34-member Constituent Assembly in 1972 , Suranjit Sengupta died at 4:24am Saturday, 4 February 2017 at Labaid Hospital in Dhaka after prolonged illness.

He was 72. Our leader Suranjit Sengupta has placed his 7 –point demands in a mammoth Hindu gathering at Sarwardi Uddyan for early implementation. (Listen Video speech of Suranjit Sengupta at that meeting as appended below). We are now rudderless leaderless Hindus in Bangladesh. Now it is our turn to compel the Government to concede the demands. His departed soul has encouraged us to raise our demands. “.The way the religious minorities are being treated, I don’t think the state response to that is adequate.

If it goes on, I think within 15 years there will be no Hindus in Bangladesh. chairman of the National Human Rights Commission Prof Mizanur Rahman’s shared his invaluable experience and insight reports. (The Daily Star on 20 June 2016) It was a well-calculated design of Muslim League regimes and their policy of hunting the minority in 1950, 1964 and 1971 helped advantage in Pakistan but why it is happened in Bangladesh? Does it mean that Bangladesh is maintaining the” legacy of policy of Minority Hunting in 1990, 1992, 2001, 2014 and 2016?

The policy of hunting the minority helped Pakistan to take advantage up to certain level; afterwards, Pakistan herself was collapsed with sins of genocide and cut unto size. If Bangladesh steps in the same policy of advantage that also of a practically one-way traffic in exchange of population by following the steps below:. •

Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh face widespread persecution and religiously motivated violence. Government and police authorities have done little to protect minorities and are often complicit in acts of violence. •Temples, festivals, and religious sites are frequently targeted by Muslim extremists •Violence against minority women is used as a weapon of subjugation and Hindu women and young girls frequently face systematic kidnappings, rapes, and forced conversions. •Hindus and other minorities are politically marginalized and underrepresented in government positions. For example, despite comprising 9.6% of the population, there are only ten Hindu representatives out of 300 in the national Parliament (3.6%). •

The EPA/VPA has resulted in the widespread economic disenfranchisement of the Hindu community and deprived 1.2 million Hindu families (44% of Hindu households) of their land and properties in the territory constituting Bangladesh. We desire to place our 7-point demands before the Hon’ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of the people Republic of Bangladesh for consideration. We are ready to submit a draft Bill to the Government in this regard as titled “Bangladesh Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence (Access to Justice and Reparations) Bill” aims to protect and fulfill the right to equality before law and equal protection of law by imposing duties on the government, to exercise their power in an impartial and non-discriminatory manner that need to be placed before the parliament.

Bangladesh is second largest Hindu populated country in the World. Hindus would be ensured in Bangladesh if due representation of the community in the field of all decision –making institutions of the Republic. i.e. representation of minority in the Administration ,Army, Police, Judicial and Foreign services as well as public offices at all level is effectively ensured. They need 60 reservation seats in Parliament through Constitutional provision. They want empowerment in political and public offices and constitutional social justice as equal citizens of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh.

The Government of Bangladesh should constitute a separate ministry concerning minority’s affairs and reconstitute National Human Rights Commission for Bangladesh with more minority members to ensure justice to the Minorities to uphold religious rights of Devuttur Property by promulgating a new Act and help secure fair and equal access to justice by allowing Hindu Human Rights NGOs to work in Bangladesh. The Government of Bangladesh, should show respect to those obligations uphold the ideas in the constitution of Bangladesh as ratified so far the “Universal Declaration on Human Rights” to protect and fulfill the right to equality before law and equal protection of law by imposing duties on the government, to exercise their power in an impartial and non-discriminatory manner to prevent and control targeted violence.

Unless there is a radical change of policies and establishing constitutional equal rights including (for proportional representation in jobs (both civil and army and police) and reserved seats in parliament, municipalities, university syndicates and high court benches) on the part of the present Bangladesh Government towards its Hindu minority, their future is indeed bleak and uncertain.
