Rupali Ganguly has condemned the brutal killings of Hindus in Bangladesh. On Friday, the Anupamaa star spoke exclusively to CNN-News18 Showsha and questioned those who are silent over the atrocities against Hindus.
The actress stated that it’s time for everyone to take a stand and urged Hindus to speak up.
“Why aren’t people speaking about atrocities against Hindus? If you can speak up for Palestine and other countries, why can’t you raise the same voice against what is happening with Hindus in Bangladesh? I fail to understand why nobody speaks up,” Rupali told us.
“First Dipu Das and now the fresh incident has happened. It has been happening for quite a while. Previously also we have seen several videos of such incidents. I don’t know why voices are not being raised. It’s time for us to stand for our own,” the actress continued.
“Hindus should stand up for the Hindus. They should help. I understand that love is the only religion, kindness is the only caste that we should believe in. But how do people keep quiet when things are happening with Hindus? We saw how sadhus were burnt alive in Palghar. Whenever something happens to Hindus, suddenly everyone keeps quiet. How? Don’t understand. It’s time for people to start speaking, raising their voice against what’s happening,” she added.
Rupali Ganguly’s comments come after the brutal killing of 27-year-old Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh district. Another Hindu man, Amrit Mondal, was also beaten to death by a mob in Bangladesh over an extortion accusation on Thursday. The brutal killings have sparked major outrage and have highlighted the poor condition of minorities in the country.
Apart from Rupali, several other celebrities, including Manoj Joshi, Janhvi Kapoor, Kajal Aggarwal and Jaya Prada, have also expressed their concerns over these killings in Bangladesh.
