New Delhi, March 27: The Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI) has expressed deep concern at the ongoing violence in Myanmar for the last one week wherein reportedly more than three dozen Rohingya Muslims have been killed. To protest against the violence, SDPI has decided to stage a dharna (sit-in) in front of Myanmar Embassy in New Delhi on April 5.
SDPI national president E. Abubacker said: it is pity that the group of Muslims who call themselves Rohingya has been living in Myanmar for centuries are not yet recognized as citizens of the country and are being subjected to such blood-curdling treatment by the Buddhists dominated country. Rohingyas are said to be Muslim descendants of Persian, Turkish, Bengali, and Pathan origin, who migrated to Myanmar as early as the 8th century.”
Abubacker called upon world community of nations in general and Indian Government in particular to weigh upon the Myanmar Government to control the sectarian riots with an iron hand at the earliest before the situation goes out of control.
