India following 'double standards' on protection of minorities says Bangladesh

G GOWTHAM
Bangladesh accused the media of a "industrial scale misinformation campaign" against Dhaka on Friday, claiming that india applied "double standards" when it came to protecting minority populations. Asif Nazrul, the Law Affairs Adviser for the bangladesh interim administration, claimed on data-facebook that India's unjustified worry for bangladesh persists amid a controversy over the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy krishna Das on sedition charges.
 
There are several instances of violence against the Muslim minority in India. However, they don't feel guilty or ashamed (about such occurrences). Nazrul remarked, "This double standard of india is unacceptable and deplorable."

"The majority of Bangladeshis (64.1%) believe that the interim government has been able to provide better security to the country's minority communities compared to the previous Awami League government," Nazrul said, citing a Voice of America Bangla study.
 
Muhammad Yunus's interim administration in bangladesh, meanwhile, called on its journalists to use "truth" to refute "misinformation" in indian media.
 
"We must tell our stories our way or else they (Indian media) will set our narrative according to their liking," stated Shafiqul Alam, press secretary for Chief Adviser Yunus.
 
In a data-facebook post, veteran journalist Alam stated that a number of Bangladeshi journalists had come to the realization that it was time to address the "industrial scale misinformation campaign" emanating from some indian media outlets and their social media accounts.
 

The intelligent people who live on its eastern data-border, he continued, overthrew a "brutal dictatorship" a few months ago in one of the "finest revolutions" in human history. indians should be aware of this.
 
Some may believe indians are wiser than other individuals, according to Alam. "But believe me if you are empowered by truth, no misinformation campaign can stop you" .
 
His remarks were made when a group of students protested against India's alleged meddling in Bangladesh's internal affairs on the campus of Dhaka University.
 
They also called for the international Society for krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to be banned in bangladesh and the extradition of Sheikh Hasina, the ousted prime minister who had fled to india in august during widespread student-led demonstrations.
 

The students accused india of trying to incite communal conflict in bangladesh, committing "data-border killings," and persecuting religious groups.
 
Additionally, they said that the indian government was using religious divisions to destabilize bangladesh and escalating communal tensions there.
 
Every week, india murders individuals along our data-border. Every day, minorities in their own nation data-face persecution. A mosque was the scene of a recent event that claimed the lives of several Muslims, according to Bin Yamin Molla, head of the Student Rights Council.
 
Bangladesh cannot view india as a friendly country, according to Molla.
