The Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM) has strongly condemned the continuing violence and mob killings targeting minority communities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh, describing the incidents as a grave crime against humanity.
The forum stated that such acts transcend national borders and religious identities and represent a direct assault on universal human values that cannot be justified under any circumstances.
MRM emphasised that remaining silent in the face of hatred, mob violence, and targeted killings amounts to moral complicity.
The forum appealed to Indian Muslims to raise their voices against the atrocities being committed against minorities in Bangladesh, stressing that this is a moment for courage and truth, not indifference.
According to the organisation, speaking out against injustice is essential to safeguard the principles of equality, justice, and humanity for future generations.
Alarming Breakdown of Law and Order
MRM National Convener Shahid Sayeed said that the visuals emerging from Bangladesh are deeply disturbing.
He pointed to aggressive mobs on the streets, targeted attacks on minorities, and assaults on homes and religious places as signs of a rapidly eroding rule of law.
He stated that mob lynching represents not just the killing of an individual but a direct attack on constitutional values and human dignity.
Protecting minorities, he added, remains a moral responsibility of every nation, and failure to do so pushes society towards chaos.
Women and Children Most Affected
MRM National Convener and Women’s Wing Head Dr Shalini Ali highlighted that minority women and children are bearing the brunt of the violence.
She said living under constant fear strips individuals of dignity and security.
Dr Ali warned that hatred spread in the name of religion or identity corrodes society from within and urged the international community to treat the violence in Bangladesh as a serious human rights violation rather than dismissing it as an internal matter.
MRM National Convener Dr Shahid Akhtar, who also serves as Executive Chairman of the National Commission for Minority Educational Institutions (NCMEI), said the true measure of any nation lies in how it treats its minorities.
He warned that the ongoing violence poses a dangerous threat to education, coexistence, and democratic values in Bangladesh and could leave deep and lasting scars if timely and firm action is not taken.
Political Instability and Rising Unrest
The forum also linked the violence to growing political instability in Bangladesh, noting that unrest escalated after the death of student leader Sharif Usman Hadi.
Attacks on media institutions, Indian establishments, and minority communities in cities such as Dhaka and Chattogram reflect how public anger has turned into indiscriminate violence, with minorities emerging as the most vulnerable targets.
While acknowledging the interim government’s deployment of the army and appeals for peace, MRM stressed that words alone are insufficient.
The forum called for strict action against perpetrators, concrete measures to protect minorities, and decisive steps to curb hate-mongering.
It also urged the Government of India to raise the issue firmly as a responsible neighbour, stating that lasting peace and stability in South Asia depend on ensuring that minorities can live without fear or discrimination.
