India's silence on Rohingya persecution

India's position on the Rohingya crisis has shocked us. It has exposed its true face by siding with the Myanmar government and indirectly supporting the latter's cleansing of the ethnic minority.

It is sad that the Indian government has decided to remain silent while the Myanmar army with support from Aung San Suu Kyi's ruling party continues to commit atrocities with impunity.

The Indian government's policy about the Rohingya crisis should open our eyes to the truth that India has left us in our hour of need. Its approach to this matter raises some serious questions about its sincerity in supporting Bangladeshi interests as a so-called friendly neighbour.
