Hindus are again being targeted in Bangladesh: It is indeed very sad that even after the establishment of a new regime in Bangladesh, the Hindu community is again being targeted here.
According to information received from the media, Islamic fundamentalist groups have sent threatening letters to temples and committees, demanding 5 lakh Bangladeshi Taka.
Let us tell you that Durga Puja will be celebrated from 9th to 13th October. The special thing is that this is the biggest festival of Bangladeshi Hindus. According to the report, most of such incidents have been reported from Dacop in Khulna district.
Let us tell you that after the violence that broke out in August, many reports of attacks on minority communities had surfaced in Bangladesh. On August 5, the government of then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fell. After this, Mohammad Yunus became the chief advisor of the interim government.
Puja committees are receiving anonymous letters
It is being said that many Puja committees have received anonymous letters threatening to face consequences if the money is not paid and not being allowed to perform Durga Puja.
There have also been cases of idols being vandalised at several places. On September 22, some madrasa boys vandalised Durga idols in Raipur area of Laxmiganj district. Recently, members of the Hindu community have lodged complaints with authorities in Chittagong and Khulna districts.
