Recommendations to Bangladesh Government for immediate steps:-

1. Bangladesh is second largest Hindu populated country in the World.

They need reservation through Constitutional provision. They want

empowerment and social justice as equal citizens of the Peoples’

Republic of Bangladesh. Ethnic cleansing should be stopped.

2. Scrap “Islam as State Religion” and “Bismill-hirRahamanir Rahim”

from the Constitution of Bangladesh to ensure equal rights of

Hindus of Bangladesh to make it secular Constituion.

3. Judicial Commission for investigation is recommended for atrocities

on minority Hindus in Bangladesh including continuous repression,

conversions, abductions, rape,and vandalising, looting and setting

fire on temples, business firms and houses of Hindu communities.

The perpetrators should come under purview of law and exemplary

punishment should be awarded. There should not be any impunity

to perpetrators.

4. The Government has to rehabilitate the victims of rape, gang rape,

forceful conversion , forceful occupation or displacement of houses,

temples, on state responsibility. The vandalised and burnt houses,

temples of Hindus have to be rebuilt and adequate compensation

must be provided to them.

5. The Government should take care of minority Hindu communities at

the time of ensuing national election and ensure their voting rights.

Delegations from Hindu rights organisations should be appointed for

election monitoring.

6. Minority Rights Commission for Bangladesh has to be launched by

the Government of BD to ensure justice to the Minorities as like as

India.

7. The Bangladesh Government, as ratified by them so far the

“Universal Declaration on Human Rights” must show respect to

those obligations.

8. The Bangladesh Government should bring back the Hindus who fled

away or displaced from their homes due to communal violence,

forceful conversion and those who were subjected to flee their

motherland ensuring their rights to recover moveable and

immovable properties as equal citizen of the country.

9. The Government of BD who seized 23 lacks acres of lands belonging

to Hindus through black law(Enemy property Act) should be

returned to them or their legal heirs amending “Vested Property
