The Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, has raised worries about the circumstances in Bangladesh, emphasizing the struggles and conflicts experienced by ethnic and religious minority groups.

“In the beginning of my speech, I emphasized that any violence against any Bangladeshis is unacceptable,” Bowen stated during a parliamentary session in Australia on September 10. He observed that the Members of Parliament and the House have been closely monitoring the recent occurrences in Bangladesh, such as the government’s collapse and the ensuing violence.

Bowen mentioned reports of widespread damage, looting, and attacks

Bowen mentioned reports of extensive harm, theft, and assaults, with 725 residences and shops harmed, 724 plundered, 58 ignited, and destruction to 17 religious sites, with 21 looted.

He highlighted the targeted assaults on religious and ethnic minorities in Bangladesh. He stated that he and his colleagues from Western Sydney have brought up these concerns to Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong and intend to keep discussing these problems.

Bowen recalled previous acts of violence against minorities in Bangladesh

Bowen remembered previous acts of violence against minorities, such as those that occurred during the 2021 Durga Puja, and reaffirmed his dedication to raising awareness of these issues in the House to show ethnic minorities in Bangladesh that their suffering is being recognized.

Bowen also cited a recent meeting for Members of Parliament, arranged by Councillor Suman Saha of Cumberland City Council, where 46 Bangladeshi community leaders voiced their worries.

The briefing also included participation from three family members of recent victims of violence in Bangladesh. Bowen acknowledged the complexity of the situation, stating, “There are very complex matters at play and not every report will be accurate, but, nevertheless, I am satisfied that there are genuine issues that need to be addressed.”

Bowen, upon reflecting on the events, restated that “any form of violence is to be condemned,” and highlighted Minister Wong’s emphasis on the need to restore stability in Bangladesh. He also recognized the work of the new government, headed by Muhammad Yunus, in tackling these difficulties.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
