Members of the Muslim community, headed by Uttarakhand Waqf Board Chairman Shadab Shams, conducted a 'chaadar' on Monday at Piran Kaliyar Sharif, praying for an end to reported atrocities against Hindu minority in Bangladesh.

"We have come to plead against the oppressors and for the rights of the oppressed in Bangladesh. What is happening in Bangladesh is a nefarious conspiracy of the ISI and Jamaat-e-Islami.

"People of Bangladesh are facing religious hatred, temples are being demolished, sisters and daughters are unsafe, democracy has been murdered there," Shams said. The Quran says Innallaha Ma'asahirin, which means God is with the oppressed and against the oppressors, he said.

"Do not oppress the oppressed, the oppressed will cry and if God hears their cries, he will destroy you," Shams said adding their prayers will not go unanswered.
