Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) expresses its serious concern about the various incidents in Bangladesh which have been threatening the safety and security of the minorities in the country.

While the fundamentalist forces are actively trying to create communal divisions, no effective measures are apparently being taken by the concerned authorities in the country to protect the minorities from attacks and ensure communal harmony and peace. CITU demands the interim government of Bangladesh to immediately take effective measures to curb communal divisive activities and ensure that communal harmony prevails in the country.

At the same time, CITU also expresses its concern at the wild and provocative propaganda in India by the Hindutva communal forces about the situation in Bangladesh. It is ironic it is the very same forces are targeting the Muslim minorities in India and disrupting unity and harmony in our country. CITU reiterates that communal divisive politics that weaken unity and united struggles against the neoliberal policies worsening the lives and livelihoods of the people, are harmful, particularly for the working class and the toiling masses, be it in Bangladesh or India or anywhere in the world.

Such attempts should be resisted by the toiling people everywhere
