Indian leader condemns motivated massacre of Myanmar Muslims

 (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Expressing grave concern over the ethnic violence in Myanmar, an Indian leader Thursday strongly condemned the motivated massacre of Rohingya Muslims of Arakan region of Myanmar.

Dr. Zafrul Islam Khan, President of All India Muslim Majlis Mushawwarat (AIMMM) said: 'It is indeed deeply disturbing that thousands have lost their lives, millions have been forced to flee from their homes. Tragically the insecurity is so high that even those in camps do not feel safe.'

He said that this is a monumental failure of Government of Myanmar which has not taken timely action against the genocide.

'Myanmar Government should be held responsible for the heinous crime committed against the Rohingya Muslims,' Zafrul Islam Khan added.

Urging the Myanmar Government to take immediate steps to restore law and order, Indian leader demanded that all those who are directly involved in the massacre must be identified and punished severely.

He expressed anguish over the UN that the world body has not efficiently intervened to save the Rohingya Muslims from intended extinction.

Slamming the silence of world leaders, Zafrul Islam Khan urged the Government of India to apprise Myanmar government of the sentiments of Indian Muslims.

'Pressurize the Myanmar government to stop the killings,' he added.

Noting that this massacre is against the principles of justice, peace and humanity, Indian leader said that it is shameful that Nobel Prize Winner Aung Sang Suu Kyi has not uttered a word against the killings.

He also slammed the renowned Buddhist spiritual leader Dalai Lama for his silence against the genocide in which thousands of Muslims were killed, tortured and displaced by the Buddhists in Burma’s Rakhine province. sas
