2. The Hindu community leader and union parishad chairman Samar Chattarjee said the region was always known to be an area of excellent interfaith harmony as “no such heinous incident took place here in the past”. The (majority) Muslim community does not have any dispute with us (Hindus), we just cannot understand who could be these culprits,” he said.
3. “It clearly appears to be a case of an orchestrated attack to disrupt the peaceful situation of the country,” Thakurgaon’s Police chief Jahangir Hossain told reporters at one of the temple sites. He added that a Police investigation was launched immediately to track down the miscreants. “I assure you they will have to face stern legal actions,” he said.
4. “This (attack) is the manifestation of a conspiracy against peace and communal harmony…this is a serious crime and the perpetrators will face the music,” Thakurgaon’s deputy commissioner or administrative chief Mahbubur Rahman said.
Editorial viewpoint
Realise that no organisation in the world has protested against these incidents ! If such incident would have taken place about a mosque or a church, it would have become an international news and the Muslims and Christians would have taken to streets ! |
