In the memorandum, it was stated that planned, organised, and brutal atrocities are being carried out against the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh, including killings, arson attacks on homes and temples, sexual violence against women, and systematic targeting of Hindus. The Government of India must strongly condemn these incidents and obtain written assurances from the Bangladesh Government regarding strict punishment for the culprits and compensation to affected families. India must also raise the issue of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, along with official statistics, at international forums such as the United Nations, international human rights bodies, and SAARC, and seek a fact-finding mission.
The memorandum also called for a humanitarian and transparent policy to grant temporary protection, citizenship, or long-term visas to Hindus forced to migrate to India due to religious persecution. If the atrocities against Hindus do not stop, economic, commercial, and diplomatic sanctions should be imposed on Bangladesh, and strict action taken against terrorist and extremist elements operating there.
