Oppression of Hindus in Bangladesh raised at US Capitol
Watch the video here: Rep Dold on protecting Human RightsWashington DC, July 28: Congressman Robert Dold (Republican
Representative from Illinois District 10) raised the issue of atrocities
and oppression of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh at the US Capitol
today. Dold raised the issue at the floor of the United
States House of Representatives. The latter is one of the two
Houses of the United States Congress,
the bicameral legislature which also includes
the Senate.
Congressman Robert Dold made a short speech on the House floor in
favor of HR440, sponsored by Rep. Frank Wolf, a bill that establishes an
ambassador-level “special envoy” for religious freedom and human rights
in the Middle East and South Central Asia.
Newsgram spoke to Dr Richard Benkin from Chicago who has been
working to get people to recognize the ethnic cleansing of Hindus in
Bangladesh. Benkin says that one of the biggest impediments to that
recognition is the tendency toward burying the issue under words about
“minorities” and “extremists.” Benkin says that per his
knowledge, this is the first time that the issue of suffering of Hindus
in Bangladesh has so clearly been raised on the floor of the US House of
Representatives.
