The spate of violence against minority communities continued as devotees woke up to find three Hindu temples desecrated in Chattogram’s Sitakunda upazila early yesterday.
Another person injured during the clash between police and mob in Chandpur’s Hajiganj upazila, following reports of “demeaning the Holy Quran” in Cumilla died this morning.
Like previous incidents of communal violence unleashed on minority communities, a post making the rounds on Facebook was what triggered the October 13 attacks in Chandpur’s Hajiganj upazila during Durga Puja celebrations.
Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad has stated that on October 16, they will lead a demonstration against violence and vandalism directed at the Hindu community.
