Several incidents of attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh have come to the fore. However, two big ministers of the country have given statements on two separate occasions. Home Minister Asadduzman Khan on Sunday said that the attacks on pandals during Durga Puja were pre-planned. These attacks were done as part of a conspiracy.
At the same time, Minister of State for Information Murad Hassan said that Islam is not the religion of the country. Asadduzman Khan said about the attack on the temples that their aim is to destroy the communal harmony in Bangladesh. People were first attacked in a Hindu temple in Comilla on Wednesday.
After this, cases were registered against hundreds of known and unknown people. When asked why the Comilla attack took place, the minister gave a two-way answer. He said that as soon as we get all the evidence, we will make it public. And at the same time, Dhaka Tribune reported that they will punish all the culprits.
At the same time, Bangladesh's Minister of State for Information Murad Hassan said that Bangladesh is a secular nation. Also, we will return to the 1972 constitution made by President Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibar Rahman. Bangladesh can never be a safe haven for religious fundamentalists. However, he did not make this statement in the context of the attack on the temples.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, said- I don't think Islam is the religion of our country. The blood of freedom fighters is flowing in our veins. However, we will have to return to the Constitution of India. I will raise this issue in Parliament. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, this bill will be passed in Parliament.
