A delegation of BJP leaders, including Arjun Singh, along with Hindu monk Kartick Maharaj on Tuesday met Bangladeshi lawyer Rabindra Ghosh, who has been defending jailed Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, in North 24 Parganas district. They felicitated Ghosh for his efforts in standing by the rights of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.

The meeting took place at the residence of Ghosh’s son in Barrackpore, where the lawyer is currently staying for medical purposes after bone injuries.

“He is a courageous man. We appreciate his efforts and everything he has done so far to fight for justice for hindu minorities in Bangladesh despite such tough circumstances. Rabindra Ghosh’s courage in fighting for justice for Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Despite threats to life he didn’t fear and it is inspiring for many of us,” said Arjun Singh.

Emphasising the importance of standing up for human rights Kartick Maharaj said, “We pray for Chinmoy Krishna Das’s release. Supporting Das is about standing for human rights. Also, Rabindra Ghosh’s commitment to justice reflects the true spirit of humanity.”

Meanwhile, Ghosh said, “I am grateful for the support. The situation of minorities in Bangladesh is dire, and I will continue to fight against injustice.”

“The interim administration’s silence on fundamentalist and violence is alarming. It’s a travesty of justice,” he said.
