In protest against the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh, police didn’t allow our peaceful gathering and arrested some people at Muragachha crossing, Khardah.
BDNews24 reported that the radical Islamists had attacked the Hindu community in Feni district after the latter had taken out demonstrations against the vandalism of Durga pandals and Hindu idols in Chandpur, Cumilla and Noakhali districts in the Chittagong Division of Bangladesh. During the attack orchestrated between 4:30 pm and 11:30 pm on Saturday (October 16), several temples were looted and vandalized.
On October, 15, mob violence erupted in the town of Begumganj, Bangladesh, during Durga Puja, the holiest Bengali Hindu festival of the year. The unrest was sparked by online rumors that the Quran had been desecrated when it was allegedly placed at the feet of the Hindu goddess Durga. Recent reports suggest that Muslim hard-liners may have used social media to provoke the violence, which killed two Hindu worshippers. In the wake of the incident, attacks on Hindu sites swept across Bangladesh, with at least 17 temples targeted, homes ransacked, and several Hindus killed in other clashes, according to local reports. The violence has triggered protests from Dhaka to London.
The periodic communal violence reflects Bangladesh’s splintering identity, between its Bengali heritage and its Muslim religious majority. In recent decades, Bangladesh has seen a surge in Islamism. The recent incidents show that the country now risks losing its pluralistic heritage under the shadow of growing intolerance.
