Tripura Chakma Students' Association condemns condemns violence in Bangladesh, urges PM Modi to intervene

Agartala (Tripura) [India], September 22 (ANI): The Tripura Chakma Students' Association (TCSA) has condemned the alleged attack on minorities in Bangladesh and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the matter to ensure their protection.
TCSA on Saturday stated that "such atrocities are increasingly common in Bangladesh," particularly against tribal communities, and demand immediate action from both the Government of India and the international community.
Speaking to ANI, Amitab Chakma, a social activist, said, "In Bangladesh, there have been attacks on minorities, particularly Buddhists and Hindus. Indiscriminate fire has resulted in the deaths of 79 people, and over a hundred houses have been burned. Many women and children are still hiding in the jungles. The new government in Bangladesh has been completely ineffective, leading to this violence and arson. I request India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pay attention to this issue and take measures to protect minorities in Bangladesh."
Additionally, TCSA has made several urgent appeals, including immediate inclusion of the Chittagong Hill Tracts into India, an immediate halt to the persecution of tribal and minority Hindu communities in Bangladesh, accountability for soldiers involved in the massacre, demanding capital punishment for those guilty of genocide, and reconstruction of the destroyed Buddhist and Hindu temples by the Bangladesh government.
Earlier, the Bangladesh Army issued an appeal to the public, urging them to maintain peace and harmony.
"The ongoing tension may turn into violent riots in the three hill districts. Leading individuals are urgently requested to assist the law enforcement agencies in de-escalating the ongoing tension. Necessary legal action will be taken after identifying the real culprits by conducting a proper investigation. The people are specially requested to maintain peace and harmony in the three hill districts," the Inter-Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) said in a statement. (ANI)
