The All India Pratinidhi Sabha, the top decision-making body of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, passed a resolution on Saturday showing support for Hindus in Bangladesh. It also claimed that global forces, including Pakistan and the U.S. deep state, were working to create mistrust in the region.
The resolution, named "A call to stand in solidarity with the Hindu society of Bangladesh," urges international organisations such as the UN to take serious note of the inhumane treatment faced by Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. It calls for all necessary actions to ensure dignity for the affected communities. The RSS, the parent organisation of the ruling BJP, highlighted the "institutional support of Bangladesh government to the ongoing persecution of Hindus" and warned that minorities in the country were facing an existential crisis.
RSS joint general secretary Arun Kumar stressed that it's unrealistic to deny the religious motivations behind the ongoing violence. "The percentage of Hindus in Bangladesh has declined from 22 in 1951 to 7.95 today," he stated. He also said that international powers are creating "distrust and mistrust among countries of the region which have a shared culture and history and a common civilisational journey."
Arun Kumar praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for its efforts to engage with Bangladesh’s interim administration on the issue. He stated that the RSS resolution called on the Indian government, the United Nations, global organisations, and Hindus worldwide to take all necessary steps to protect the dignity of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. "This violence is not political alone. It has a clear religious angle because all those being targetted are Hindus and other minorities," Kumar expressed.
As per the RSS resolution, "Governmental and institutional support for the violence and hatred during last year towards Hindus and other minorities of Bangladesh is a serious cause for concern. The persistent anti-Bharat rhetoric in Bangladesh can severely damage the relationship between the two countries."
The Pratinidhi Sabha, which convened in Bengaluru on Friday for a three-day session, passed its first resolution. Senior RSS leaders, including chief Mohan Bhagwat, general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale, and leaders from 32 RSS-affiliated organisations, BJP president JP Nadda attended the meeting. The gathering is expected to approve two key resolutions: one addressing Bangladesh and another marking the centenary of the RSS, which was founded by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in Nagpur in 1925.
