on minority Hindus in Bangladesh including continuous repression,

punishment should be awarded. There should not be any impunity
to perpetrators.

forceful conversion , forceful occupation or displacement of houses,
temples, on state responsibility. The vandalised and burnt houses,
temples of Hindus have to be rebuilt and adequate compensation

immovable properties as equal citizen of the country.
