In his speech, he also placed a poignant emphasis on the acts of violence, vandalism and Discrimination against Hindus in the country within the last few years, making them feel caged. Chinmoy Krishna Das, a senior ISKCON monk, has been arrested for noting a clear transition that the police have started arresting Hindu leaders on baseless charges. The High Court banned ISKCON, which is a world-renowned Hindu organisation that has deepened the apprehensions about religious intolerance. To this end, MP Bob Blackman has urged politicians in the United Kingdom to intervene actively in the violation of these human rights.
United Kingdom helped Bangladesh to gain independence back in 1971, he pointed out that it was the responsibility of the UK to protect religious freedom in the country. The MP called on UK ministers to apply pressure on their Bangladeshi counterparts to guarantee the safety of Hindu people and to stop further persecution. MP Bob Blackman further said that the protection of the rights of minorities is important for the success of democracy and social peace in the area. This plea calls for global response and intervention to address the continuing increase in religious hatred in South Asian countries and the Protection of All Rights of the communities.
