Indian Muslims for Secular Democracy (IMSD) strongly condemned the attack on the life and property of Bangladeshi Hindus. In a statement released on Monday, the IMSD said, "Communalism is a sub-continental malaise and must be fought across borders. We call upon Muslim organisations and individuals in India to strongly condemn the targeting of minorities in our neighbouring country."
The IMSD, a pan India outfit, pointed to reports in the last few days in The Daily Star, The Daily Tribune and others published from Dhaka, recording that at least 142 people were killed in attacks and clashes around the country, with hundreds injured, and Hindu houses and businesses looted and torched in at least 27 districts, on the day the students` movement declared "independence" from the Awami League`s authoritarian regime.
