ISKCON temple & devotees violently attacked by mob in Bangladesh; 'Bring perpetrators to justice', urge temple authorities

In yet another scathing attack on the Hindus in Bangladesh, a mob in Naokhali damaged the ISKCON temple. The official twitter handle sharing the painful incident has demanded justice for this attack on the minority community in Bangladesh. "ISKCON temple & devotees were violently attacked today by a mob in Noakhali, Bangladesh", ISKCON tweeted.

 

 

"Temple suffered significant damage & the condition of a devotee remains critical. We call on the Govt of Bangladesh to ensure the safety of all Hindus & bring the perpetrators to justice", it added. In a reply to tweet one of the Bangladeshi users helped feel the pain suffered by the Hindus in Bangladesh. "I am a Bangladeshi & I can't cry more. My heart is bleeding. I want something to happen. I am desperate to do something. I cant express how Im feeling right now! If you can understand please do something for us", the tweet read.

 

 

 

 

Earlier on Thursday this week, the vibrant festival of Durga Puja ended in violence and vandalism for the Hindu minority community of Bangladesh as Islamic extremists exhibited barbaric behaviour over a Facebook rumour. A Facebook post allegedly showing Hindus insulting the Quran went viral on social media on Wednesday night after which the religious fanatics took to the streets to vandalize several Durga pandals.

Denying the claims of insulting Quran, Shibu Prasad Dutta, the general secretary of Cumilla Mahanagar Puja Udjapon Committee, informed that someone placed a copy of the Quran at a Durga Puja pavilion in Nanua Dighir Par early in the morning when the guard was asleep. A pro-Hindu news portal ‘Hindu Voice’ shared a video of a Durga idol being thrown into the river. “Muslim mob have demolished 9 Durga mandapas and idols in Comilla, #Bangladesh. Hundreds of radical Muslims attacked this morning. The attack is still going on. Situation is still tense. Hindus are frightened. Police failed to control mob,” it tweeted.
