US Hindu : organizations denounce the death of a Bangladeshi textile worker and point to the vulnerability of minorities
US Hindu : Hindu advocacy organizations located in the US have condemned the death of a Hindu garment worker in Bangladesh, stating that the tragedy highlighted the vulnerability of the nation’s religious minority.
The “brutal killing of Dipu Chandra Das,” according to the Hindu American Political Action Committee, demonstrated that the Bangladeshi government was not doing enough to safeguard Hindus and other religious minorities.
The organization stated in a statement sent to followers that it applauded the US elected leaders’ actions, saying they had “recognized the situation in Bangladesh and condemned the murder.”
Four MPs’ remarks on the event were provided by the group. Congressmen Raja Krishnamoorthi, Ro J. Khanan, Suhas Subramanyam, Shri Thanedar, and Jenifer Rajkumar, an assemblywoman from New York, are prominent among them.
Materials distributed by the advocacy organizations claim that Das was publicly lynched on December 18, 2025. He was violently assaulted, stripped nude, hanged in a public place, and then burned on fire, according to the organizations. According to them, the murder was a horrifying act of brutality that had an international impact.
The organizations claimed that Das’s claim that “all religions are the same” was the cause of the conflict. They identified him as a Hindu textile worker and said that the murder had shocked Bangladeshi groups worried about minority rights and religious freedom.
The Hindu American PAC stated in a statement to supporters that since its establishment in 2012, fighting against prejudice and violence against the Hindu community in the US and overseas has been a top goal. “Glad to have helped elect multiple officials who recognize the importance of doing so,” the organization said.
HinduPact, another advocacy group, called on supporters to put pressure on international organizations to take action. In reaction to the murder, the organization urged the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to “take strict action and act decisively.” Emails calling for action were welcomed from supporters.
Additionally, the documents claimed that the group had been the target of ongoing assaults and prejudice, placing the murder within a larger pattern of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh. The organizations said that the world community could no longer overlook the issue.
Bangladesh, a country with a majority of Muslims, is under international criticism for how it treats religious minorities, such as Christians, Buddhists, and Hindus. Over the last year and a half, the country’s human rights situation has become worse.
