Bangladesh Hindus Face Threats Ahead of Durga Puja: Extremists Target Temples in Khulna

In a country that has long grappled with religious tensions, Bangladesh’s recent wave of intimidation against its Hindu minority casts a grim shadow over the spirit of tolerance. With Durga Puja, the largest festival for Hindus, just around the corner, a new menace has surfaced- Islamists threatening Hindu temples in Khulna with demands for extortion. This brazen attempt to extort money from places of worship is not just an assault on faith; it’s a violation of basic human dignity and religious freedom.
