JAMMU: The BJP Human Rights Cell, Jammu & Kashmir condemn in the strongest possible terms the incidents of mob violence, targeted attacks, and atrocities against minority Hindus in Bangladesh. This was stated by Sarfraz Hamid Rather, Advocate, Co-Convenor, Human Rights Cell, J&K BJP.
He said that those who indulge in mob lynching, religious intimidation, and selective targeting of minorities have no moral or religious authority to call themselves followers of Islam, as such acts are in clear and absolute violation of the Quran and Sunnah. He stated that Islam does not permit violence against innocent people, does not sanction persecution of minorities, and does not justify mobs, hatred, or religious vigilantism.
He further said that the Quran commands justice, protection of life, and respect for all faiths, and that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) repeatedly emphasized the safety, dignity, and rights of minorities living in Muslim societies. Any act of violence against Hindus or any other community is therefore un-Islamic, inhuman, and criminal, he asserted.
Sarfraz Hamid Rather said that the incidents of mob lynching and targeted attacks against minority Hindus are not only gross human rights violations, but also a betrayal of Islamic teachings, adding that such conduct damages communal harmony, tarnishes the image of Islam globally, and must be condemned without hesitation or ambiguity.
He emphasized that human rights do not change with geography or religion and that oppression anywhere is a concern for conscience everywhere. Calling upon the authorities, he said that strict action must be taken against the perpetrators, minorities must be protected, and peace and the rule of law must be restored. He cautioned that silence or justification in the face of such crimes is not neutrality — it is complicity. Sarfraz Hamid Rather further appealed to all to reject this violence, oppose this injustice, and stand for dignity, equality, and peace.
