Buddhist
leaders condemn atrocities on Rohingyas
Protesting
the atrocities on the Rohingyas in Myanmar, leaders of Bangladesh Buddhist
Federation today condemned the ongoing repression.
The
Buddhists organisation also demanded the Myanmar government and authorities
concerned to resolve the ongoing Rohingya issue immediately.
The minority
community’s organisation came up with the call at a press conference at Dhaka
Reporters Unity in the capital this afternoon.

Atrocities on Rohingyas protested
“We think
such kind of repression against Rohingyas is not against religion, rather it is
against humanity,” Ashok Barua, general secretary of the Buddhist Federation,
told reporters.
“We hate
this kind of situation and activities,” he added. “We called upon the countries
of the world to stand by the Rohingyas who are being tortured in Myanmar,”
Ashok said.
He also
expressed doubt of any anarchic situation that might arise in Bangladesh
centring the Rohingya issue.
The Rohingya
crisis erupted recently with a series of army raids that left many dead and
hundreds arrested in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.
Yesterday,
different political, religious and ethnic minority organisations in Bangladesh
condemned the ongoing repression against the Rohingya Muslims.
