Since the departure of Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, there have been continuous reports of atrocities on Hindus. Another news has come which is related to Durga Puja in Bangladesh.
According to the media reports, before Durga Puja, some Islamic groups are threatening some temples there. Temple committees are being asked to pay five lakh Bangladeshi Taka. Islamic groups are threatening temple committees that if they want to celebrate Durga Puja, they will have to pay five lakh Bangladeshi Taka.
They will be able to organize Durga Puja only after paying five lakh Bangladeshi Taka. If they are not given five lakh Bangladeshi Taka, they will not allow the temple committees to organize Durga Puja. At the same time, on September 22, some people from the madrasa broke the idols of Mata Durga in Raipur area of Kashmiganj district.
Idols were also broken in Barguna district. In this case, some people of the Hindu community had also complained to the district officials in Chittagong and Khulna. Mahendra Nath, who is the general secretary of Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, said that more than 25 temples in Dacop town of Khulna city have been threatened to pay Rs 5 lakh if they want to organize Durga Puja
A few days ago, the interim government of Bangladesh had said that during Durga Puja, no music should be played before the time of Azan and when Namaaz is being recited. However, the newly formed interim government in Bangladesh has requested the Hindu community to suspend Durga Puja activities, specifically music, during azaan and namaz. ‘Puja committees have been asked to turn off musical instruments and sound systems during these times, and they have agreed to comply’, said Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury.
