Oppression of minorities, especially Hindus, continues in Bangladesh even after several warnings from Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus and army officials. About a dozen cases have been registered and seventeen persons have been detained after the country witnessed about 35 untoward incidents related to the ongoing Durga Puja celebrations across the country this month, police said.
Earlier, it was discovered that a hand-crafted golden mukut (crown), gifted by PM Modi during his visit to Bangladesh, was stolen from a Hindu temple in Bangladesh's southwestern Satkhira district.
The Indian High Commission in Bangladesh expressed its disbelief and urged the Bangladesh government to recover the stolen crown and punish the perpetrators. The High Commission took notice of the incident as several Hindus complained about the atrocities.
Hindus constitute about 8 per cent of the 170 million Bangladesh population and have faced several atrocities since the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5. They faced vandalism of their businesses and properties. Several of the Hindu temples were destructed during the student-led protest.
