Sunday Rally: People and Trans-National Solidarity

sunday rally: However, Banik explained this is just the latest in decades of violence toward this and other religious minorities, according to CBC. That is why they called people together of all backgrounds and religions to take part in Sunday rally. "In this demonstration, we have multicultural people — people of different religion … they will get a knowledge that we are brothers here and we have to live in a society in a harmony way." Jebunnessa Chapola led the group in singing Oh Canada and Bangladesh national anthem, Amar Sonar Bangla. Banik said it was only one week ago when he was hearing reports of the minority Hindu people in Bangladesh being tortured and homes being burned. Chapola said it was a way to show not only the connection of the two countries, but a trans-national solidarity. Organizer of Sunday rally said it is important to know that people and governments are aware of what happening to religious and ethnic minorities in Bangladesh. "We want to raise our voice which we want to share with Canadian government because we are very hopeful that Canadian government will help us to talk to our government." Banik said it important to help make sure people know about what happening. "We are asking government to look into this matter because we believe that if government are aware, they can stop it." People stood outside of Saskatoon City Hall Sunday singing in protest of the violence toward and torture of religious minorities in Bangladesh. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
