What is in the ‘Deutsche Welle’ video ?

1. DW News highlighted an arson attack on the Hazrat Garib Shah Mazar Sharif in Bangladesh’s Jessore, which was allegedly shared as an attack on a Hindu temple on social media. “In this video, a Hindu temple in Bangladesh is allegedly burning, but it is false. Videos of alleged burning Hindu temples or houses were shared and viewed thousands of times during the deadly protests in Bangladesh. Such attacks are actually happening in Bangladesh, but not every claim is true,” it alleged.

2. In the video, an expert named Thomas Kean claimed that the motives behind these attacks on Hindu minorities are unclear. “These attacks have been reported, particularly in India, as being religiously motivated, but it is not clear if that is the case,” said Kean.

3. According to the video, most attacks on Hindus were ‘politically motivated’ due to the reputation of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League as ‘protector of Hindus.’
