Wounds are still not healed; Hindu community staged protest across Bangladesh, demanding speedy action against the brutal attackers

Hindu Mohajot demands arrest of the culprits, compensation for the victims and reservation of 60 seats in the National parliament for minorities.

Guwahati: Bangladesh Hindu Mohajot on Friday (November 12) held a protest against the recent violence on the Hindu community in all the Puja pandals across the country. The protesters demanded immediate actions and speedy arrests of the culprits involved in attacks on the Hindu community.

During the recent Durga puja in October this year, radical Muslim miscreants attacked Hindus in the country, vandalised numbers of Puja pandals, destroyed Duga idols, attacked numbers of Mandirs across Bangladesh. Radical Muslim terror gangs killed scores of innocent Hindu people, torched their houses, shops, looted properties and even raped several women. 

Gobindo Pramanik of Bangladesh Hindu Mohajot told "Organiser" that the Hindu community observed candle lite protests across all the puja pandals of the country and demanded speedy justice.

Hindu Mohajot demanded the reservation of 60 seats in the National Parliament of Bangladesh and a separate ministry for the welfare of the minorities in the country. Hindu Mohajot also demanded adequate compensation for those who had lost their properties, shops, businesses, etc., in the riots. The protesters demanded compensation to the temples, which were vandalised by the radicals during anti-Hindu riots. It should be mentioned that during the recent Durga puja, thousands of radical Muslim terror gangs attacked scores of Durga puja pandals in a preplanned module.

Hundreds of Durga idols were vandalised by the radicals, which started on October 13. The first incident of attacks was reported from the Comilla district of Bangladesh, where the Muslim radical alleged that a Quran was insulted in a Puja pandal. But later, it was proved in the police investigation that a Muslim youth Ikbal Hossain placed the Quran in the Puja Pandal.

Hossain was seen placing the Quran in the Puja pandal in CCTV footage. But what started with the rumour of insulting the Quran in Commila spread to entire Bangladesh, and the Hindu community suffered their lives, properties and faiths in one of the deadliest attacks of the decade by radical Muslim terrors.
