New Delhi: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has condemned the incidents of attacks on temples and idols of deities on the Navratri festival in Bangladesh and demanded action against jihadists. The VHP has said that the Bangladesh government should protect Hindus. VHP Union General Secretary Milind Parande said on Thursday that rumours of a conspiracy to insult the Quran were spread in The Komila area of the Chittagong division in the dark of the night.

The attackers then attacked Durga Puja pandals at several places, ransacking temples. Hindu society is saddened by this incident. There are reports that there is a series of brutal atrocities and persecution of Hindu minorities. Milind Parande further said that 2 Hindus have been reported killed in the attack on temples. While 500 people have been injured. There have been incidents of insults to divine idols during Durga Puja celebrations in many other places in Bangladesh.

He further said that the situation there is likely to worsen as there could be more attacks on Hindus after alleged appeals by local terrorist organizations to carry out such attacks. He said this has made the minority community of Bangladesh even more afraid. The Bangladesh government should rein in radical jihadists, ensuring the safety of its minority Hindus. At the same time, the deceased Hindus and Hindus whose property has been damaged or injured should get compensation.
