Earlier, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi expressed his disillusionment at the ongoing atrocities against minorities, especially Hindus in Bangladesh.
On Human Rights Day, Satyarthi said that an attack on Human rights is an attack on the conscience.
He called on his fellow Nobel laureate, Chief Advisor of Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, to address the situation.
"The suppression of minorities and the violation of human rights anywhere is an attack on our collective conscience. In these challenging times, I call upon my fellow Nobel Laureate, Muhammad Yunus, to address this evolving situation without any delay. I am sure he will rise as a beacon of moral courage and compassionate leadership to control the ongoing violence that is denying the human rights of millions of people," he said.
Satyarthi said he believed that with compassionate leadership, the situation would improve.
Meanwhile, India's former High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Veena Sikri, has said that Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's statement on India's ties with Bangladesh clearly highlights that New Delhi is prepared to work with the interim administration in Dhaka and speak to them on continuing cooperation.
