Desecration of Holy Deity of Devi Durga kicks off in Bangladesh
It’s the time
for Islamists to rejoice; Durga Puja is round the corner in Bangladesh and like
other years in the country, reveling the doomed fate of Hindus altogether, the
season to desecrate Hindu deities and thus Hindu confidence has kicked off. The
first casualties have taken place in the districts of Munshiganj and Narail – a lot of holy deities of Devi
Durga were desecrated, heads were also severed in several makeshift temples
there on October 10.
Islamists were simply waiting as the six holy deities at Bottola
Mandap at Chhoto Shikarpur in Sirajdikhan were destroyed soon after they were
installed. On the word of Keshab Chakraborty, president of Sirajdikhan Battola
Puja Committee, "Miscreants broke all the idols immediately after
those were installed and the temple was razed to the ground."
When the country is reeling under the heinous attacks (recent)
of Islamists on Buddhists and Hindus in Cox’s Bazaar and Chittagong, attacks in
Sirajdikhan add salt to the gaping wound only.
It must also be mentioned, police arrested two people for vandalizing
four idols of Goddess Durga at Thakurbari temple in Doamallikpur in Lohagara on
Monday night.
Even if Sukumar Ranjan
Ghose, local MP, has the conviction that this attack was devised by Islamists who
were involved in Cox’s Bazar also, he can’t do anything virtually. Hindus in Bangladesh
are devoid of any power and the spate of desecration of deities of Devi Durga during
this time (every year) expresses their helplessness best.
