U.S. Congressman Greg Landsman introduced a resolution recognizing Pakistan's 1971 attacks on Bangladesh as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, citing targeted violence against Bengali Hindus.
Congressman Greg Landsman has introduced a House resolution calling for the U.S. to formally recognize the 1971 violence in Bangladesh as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, citing targeted attacks on Bengali Hindus during Operation Searchlight.
The resolution highlights that nearly 80% of victims were Hindu despite Hindus comprising about 20% of the population, with evidence of mass killings, rape, forced conversions, and destruction of religious sites.
It condemns the Pakistan Army and allies like Jamaat-e-Islami, urges presidential recognition, and calls for accountability while rejecting collective guilt.
Advocacy groups and the Bangladeshi diaspora support the measure to honor victims and protect religious minorities today.
