Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence

The Bangladeshi Hindus have been enduring relentless violence and threats by the jihadis backed by the interim government.

Bangladesh interim govt led by Md Yunus has been hell-bent on targeting India instead of controlling the anti-Hindu violence in the country.

Around 130 houses and 20 Hindu temples have been vandalized by the Islamist mob in Doarabazar, Sunamganj area of Bangladesh, many handles on social media reported. This is following an alleged blasphemous Facebook comment that locals claim caused insult to the Islam religion.

Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary of the Muhammad Yunus government, claimed that Hindus are safer under the current administration as compared to they were under Sheikh Hasina's regime.

Sheikh Hasina stated that further massacres would have occurred in Bangladesh if she had stayed.

"The incident earlier today of the breach of premises at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala is deeply regrettable. Diplomatic and consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances," the official statement by the MEA read.

Salil Tripathi was at the forefront of peddling the Islamist narrative of 'Muslims protecting Hindu temples in Bangladesh' without highlighting the religious affiliation of the attackers.

Munni Shah, a prominent journalist belonging to the Hindu Faith, was targeted following the undemocratic ouster of Sheikh Hasina as Bangladesh's Prime Minister

A local Hindu leader told BDNews24, "A procession of hundreds arrived after the Juma prayers. They started shouting anti-Hindu and anti-ISKCON slogans. The attackers began hitting the main gate of the Shantaneshwari Temple, and threw brickbats."

In an affidavit submitted in the Bangladesh HC, the Yunus-government referred to ISKCON as a 'religious fundamentalist group'.
