More than 200 cases of violence against Hindus have been reported in Bangladesh in the last one month.

An incident of breaking the idol being made for Durga Puja has come to light in Bangladesh. Some miscreants carried out this incident in a temple on the night of 31 August in Sherpur district of Bangladesh, adjacent to the Meghalaya border. The miscreants broke the lock of Barwari temple of Sherpur late on Saturday night and entered inside.

Sagar Ravidas, the general secretary of the temple committee, said that some miscreants broke the lock and chain of the temple and entered inside. After this, they broke the statue of the mother goddess being made of clay. After this, they also tried to burn the statue by sprinkling petrol on it. As soon as the information about the incident was received, local police and army personnel reached the spot.

However, for some reason, the statue did not catch fire. After this, the rioters fled from the spot.

Resignations are being taken from minority teachers
According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, since the formation of the new government in the country, teachers belonging to the minority community are being forced to resign. So far, 49 teachers from the minority community have resigned. Out of these, only 19 have been reinstated.
