Calicut: The National Executive Council of Popular Front of India has “strongly condemned the brutal massacre of Muslim citizens of Myanmar.”
The genocide of Muslim citizens in Arakan has continued uninterrupted since last June and has now spread to other areas. In a press statement, PFI said, “The victims are in a helpless condition as they are not receiving any help from the international community. The NEC of Popular Front strongly condemns the failure of the Myanmar Government to stop the violence and protect the lives of her own citizens.”
They added, “It is indeed a shameful fact that the international community is behaving like a mute spectator. Neither the United Nations nor the major powers of the world have come forward to stop the genocide.”
Even the Nobel peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar has disappointed the world by her silence, the Executive Council observed.
Expressing concern at India’s silence, PFI says, “It is also very unfortunate that the Indian government has not yet intervened in this issue. The world largest democracy cannot stay silent when such brutal violations of human rights are occurring in our neighboring country.”
The NEC of Popular Front has hence demanded the UPA government to initiate diplomatic intervention in the issue to ensure protection of the Muslims of Myanmar and to take up the issue to the UNHCR and propose strong resolution against the Myanmar Government.
