Islamists On Rampage Targeting Hindus Under Mohamed Yunus’ Illegitimate Puppet Govt

November 27, 2024
The Commune

Violent unrest broke out in Bangladesh following the arrest of ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, a prominent Hindu leader, on sedition charges, amid claims that the interim Mohamed Yunus government has allowed Islamists to target the community without consequence. The monk’s detention on Monday, 25 November 2024, sparked nationwide protests, escalating tensions further when a public prosecutor was killed during clashes in Chittagong the following day.

The protests began after Chinmoy Das, also a Bangladesh Sammilito Sanatan Jagaran Jote member, was denied bail in court. Supporters surrounded the police van transporting him, leading to violent confrontations. Demonstrators allegedly hurled stones at security forces, prompting authorities to use stun grenades and baton charges to disperse the crowd. Das was eventually taken to prison under heavy police escort.

During the chaos, public prosecutor Saiful Islam Alif suffered severe head injuries and succumbed to them at Chittagong Medical College Hospital, further inflaming an already volatile situation.

India has expressed deep concern over the incident, calling on Bangladesh to ensure the safety of Hindus and other minorities. “This arrest follows multiple attacks on Hindus and minorities by extremist elements in Bangladesh,” India’s Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement. The ministry also highlighted documented cases of arson, vandalism, and desecration targeting the minority community.

Violence Against Hindus Since Political Coup

It is a known fact that minorities, particularly Hindus, have been targeted in Bangladesh since August 2024 – when the army ousted the Sheikh Hasina government. More than 2,000 attacks on the Hindu community have been reported (with many gone unnoticed), including the ransacking of government buildings, destruction of houses and shops, and other violent acts.

The regime under interim leader Muhammad Yunus is accused of enabling radicals, leading to escalated violence against Hindus and minority groups.

Attacks On Hindus Following Arrest

Hindus were protesting against the arrest of Chinmoy Das outside Chattogram court and Bangladesh police opened fire on them.

The army later resorted to lathi charge/baton-charge, and allegedly silent bombs were being deployed against Hindus. Hindu lawyers in the Chittagong Court were also being attacked.

While this was happening in Chattogram, Islamists attacked Hindus in Thakurgaon, Chittagong, and Chattogram. They set ablaze Hindu homes in the districts.

 

Hindu temples were also attacked – Loknath Dham in Chittagong was attacked by Islamists.

They demolished the Kali Temple of Hazarigoli in Chittagong.

In the Rangunia district, Islamists gave an open call to genocide ISKCON devotees.

And yet the Yunus-led interim government seems to be doing nothing but enabling the Islamists, the police and the Army against the Bangladeshi Hindu minorities.
