A protest rally was held on 29 January outside the British Parliament against MP Rupa Huq’s statement in the House of Commons rejecting the All Party Parliament Group report on the persecution of minorities and human rights violations in Bangladesh.
Rupa Huq, the elected MP of Bangladeshi origin for Ealing and Acton, criticised the APPG report on Bangladesh in the Parliament Point of Order on 16 January. She said the report was part of a sinister plan to undermine the interim government of Bangladesh.
After Rupa Huq raised allegations in Parliament that the report’s information was inaccurate, it was suspended for review. However, the extreme reality is that more people have been attacked than the information published in the APPG report.
The protesters said we have been observing with deep concern for a long time that Rupa Huq has maintained good relations with the Islamist camp in Bangladesh. She has been assisting the extremist forces, the latest example of which is her meeting with the leader of the anti-liberation war criminal party of Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islam’s Dr Shafiqur Rahman, in a meeting at the House of Commons.
Rupa Huq spoke for the suspension of the entire APPG report without checking the oppressed minorities of Bangladesh despite the fact that the Bangladesh government has admitted responsibility for the persecution of minorities, killings, burning of houses and lootings.
The protesters said that the oppressed minority community of Bangladesh was hoping for justice from the international community. The UK has always stood for humanity, for the oppressed people. However, that possibility has been blocked due to the suspension of the APPG report. Rupa Huq has behaved inhumanely towards the persecuted minorities of Bangladesh by taking a biased stance towards the anti-humanity Islamist terrorist group.
The demo ended with demands for Rupa Huq’s withdrawal of her biased statement and resignation. The following addressed the rally on behalf of the organising committee: Amrit Das, Abhishek Shekhar Jiku, Robin Das, Asima De, Sujoy Swaroop Shyam Sujit Das, journalists Nazrul Islam Nishit, Neelkanth, and Ajit Das.
