Bangladesh anti-Hindu violence

The protests that were temporarily suspended based on assurances from the chief adviser and other officials resumed on Friday afternoon (September 13), with members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh returning to the streets to demand an end to the repression of minorities.

Muhammad Yunus, who has been given the command to sail the sinking ship of Bangladesh to safety, is now busy appeasing radical Muslim groups in the country.

Jamaat-e-Islami radicals preyed upon 27 poor, destitute Hindus and forced them to join 'Jamaat-e-Islami.' According to Asad Noor, they threatened to kill the victims and remove them from the nation.

The members of the 'Batargalli Dhwapara Sarbajanin Puja Committee' have expressed shock over the targeted attack and malicious attempt to hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community.

Head of interim government in Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, sought to downplay the targeted attacks against Hindus, dismissing reports of anti-Hindu persecution as grossly exaggerated.

Reports say that to avert any unexpected incidents, an Army and Navy team arrived at the scene and took control of the situation. However, the boy was still beaten to death by the mob.

The minor victim has been identified as Swarna Das, a Bangladeshi Hindu who is said to be in the age range of 14-16 years. 

Amid Bangladesh floods, a video has gone viral from Noakhali, where a Mualvi is seen cutting off a sacred thread from a child's neck in exchange for some relief material

A propaganda report by Newslaundry journalist Smita Sharma attempted to whitewash the violence against Hindus in Bangladesh and even slander India while being on a government junket.

She lauded a post by Sultan Mohammed Zakaria, which contained misleading videos of Indian dams to claim that India released water from the Dumbur Dam causing floods in Bangladesh. Interestingly, this very post, which Farhana Sultana called a “spot-on analysis” was debunked by DW News.
