Hindus are being continuously targeted since Sheikh Hasina’s change of power in Bangladesh. So far, more than 300 Hindu families and their homes have been attacked in Bangladesh and four incidents of mob lynching have been recorded against Hindus. At the same time, more than 10 Hindu temples have been vandalized and set on fire. Also, so far 49 Hindu teachers have resigned and been expelled from different universities and colleges. The condition of Bangladesh has become like Pakistan and whether it is the murder of Hindus or action against Hindus, both have become common. Not only this, the terrorists who killed Hindus are being released from jail and when the matter did not stop here, now Hindus are being prevented from even doing puja-paath during Azaan in Durga Puja pandals.
Restrictions being imposed on Hindus in Bangladesh
Actually, the festival of Durga Puja is falling between 9 October to 13 October, which has been organized with great pomp in Bangladesh till now. However, this time it is not going to happen. Because the Home Affairs Advisor in the interim government of Bangladesh and retired Lieutenant General Mohammad Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has announced that Hindus will be prohibited from performing Puja and singing Bhajans on loudspeakers during Namaz and Azan in Bangladesh. If any Hindu is found violating this rule, the police will arrest him without any warrant.
There will be no Puja during Namaz
Regarding this, the Bangladesh government says that Durga Puja pandals will be set up in Bangladesh between 9 October and 13 October next month. The committees setting up the pandals will have to follow this rule and take care that this rule is not violated. It will be mandatory to stop all religious rituals and worship in all these pandals 5 minutes before Azan. Also, there will be a complete ban on Hindus listening to bhajans and chanting mantras on loudspeakers during Azan and Namaz. That is, now the government is trying to control even the worship of Hindus in Bangladesh through dictatorship.
