Support and solidarity meet for Myanmar Hindus in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: In a solidarity meet for

Myanmar

Hindus, being attacked and converted by Rohingya terror groups in Rakhine state of Myanmar, Mr

Tarun Vijay

, former BJP MP said that

Myanmar Hindus

are made to suffer for being loyal to Myanmar and peaceful, just like

Kashmiri Hindus

, who had suffered in Independent India at the hands of Islamists. He saluted Bangaloreans for having taken an initiative to send help to Myanmar Hindus, currently in Bangladesh refugee camps in Cox's Bazar.

Mr Tarun Vijay is the first Indian public leader who visited Myanmar Hindu refugee camps in Bangladesh and he showed his video clips and narrated his experience. He said Myanmar Hindus are not safe even in refugee camps where they get attacked by Islamists and are forced to convert. He appealed that every patriotic Indian must support Myanmar leader

Aung San Su Kyi

for protecting Myanmar's territorial integrity as a safe, united Myanmar is in india's interest and it has always been a great friend of India.

Mr Tarun Vijay said that Rohingya Muslims are a potential; threat to India's security and have been working with active help from Al Qaeda and ISIS. Sheltering them would be a step forward to Islamize India. Everyone, specially the seculars are speaking for only Rohingiya Muslims, but are the minority Hindus of Myanmar being ignored just because they are peaceful?

The meet was organized by @JusticeForMyanmarHindus group initiated by Prof Vasudeva Murthy, former professor, IIM, Bangalore, renowned author of several books on management and a social activist, supported by Kashmiri Pandits' cultural society, who settled in the city after being driven out of the valley as refugees.

Other panelists included Mr. Somshekhar, editor, and columnist, Mr Shreyank Ranade, current affairs analyst, Mr RK Mattoo, President, Kashmir Hindu Cultural Welfare Trust. Mr Mattoo said that Hindus must stand united to help Myanmar Hindus. "We have suffered migration seven times and still we are far away from a point to return home in the valley. Is being refugees a fate for Hindus?"

Prof Vasudeva Murthy wondered why Hindus are not coming up in large numbers for helping their Hindu brothers and sisters facing unspeakable brutalities at the hands of Islamists.
