'Only 138 incidents have happened', said Yunus Sarkar...?
Relations between india and bangladesh are continuously deteriorating. Now once again bangladesh has described the violence against Hindus as political violence. Earlier, the indian government had presented data about the violence against Hindus in bangladesh, which Yunus Sarkar is now not ready to accept.
The interim government of bangladesh has questioned the data of the indian Foreign Ministry which talked about violence against Hindus. bangladesh said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today reported that there were 47 incidents of violence against Hindus in bangladesh in the year 2022, 302 in 2023 and 2,200 in 2024. This figure is incorrect and highly exaggerated. According to the independent human rights organization Ain O Salish Center, the number of violent incidents against religious minorities in bangladesh between january and november 2024 is 138, in which 368 houses were attacked and 82 people were injured."
This statement of bangladesh has come at a time when miscreants have broken idols in three temples in Mymensingh and Dinajpur of Bangladesh. 8 idols were broken in Mymensingh, Dinajpur. Three idols of two temples were broken yesterday and early today in Haluaghat Upazila of Mymensingh.
What argument did bangladesh give?
The bangladesh government said, "The interim government of bangladesh is investigating every incident reported and is committed to punish the culprits. According to the police headquarters, at least 97 cases have been registered between august 4 and december 10 and 75 people have been arrested for alleged attacks on religious minorities since August." Yunus Sarkar said, "Many of these incidents took place between august 5 and august 8 when there was no government. Most of these attacks were of political nature. We request everyone to refrain from spreading misinformation about such hate crimes." What figure did the indian government give? minister of State for External Affairs kirti Vardhan said in a written reply in parliament that till december 8 this year, 2200 attacks took place against Hindus and other minorities in bangladesh, while 112 such attacks have taken place in Pakistan.
