Bengal Temples are Violently Attacked by the Muslim Fascists. Temple & Hindu Properties grabbed by Bengal Talibans.

Some shocking news both from Bangladesh and West Bengal recognize the onslaught of Bengali Hindus there.

Bangladesh Minority Watch (BDMW) Dhaka received an appeal from the Hindu victims/devotees requesting us to take initiative to protect their rights of religion and also for legal assistance in the court.

Peaceful Hindus last year on 23.11.2008 went to cremate Hindu dead bodies at their cremation ground situated at Mukunda Patty Baneswardee Area at Nagarkanda Upazila of Faridpur District. But they had been intercepted by some Muslim perpetrators. As a result Hindus lodged general diary entry number 875 dated 23.11.2008 at Nagarkanda police station apprehending danger in future.

But again on 26.01.2009 at about 9.30 a.m. the perpetrators namely:-

1)     Sheikh Serajul (60) son of late Sheikh Abdus Sattar, 2) Showkat Sheikh (40) , 3) Yead Ali Sheik (35) sons of both Sheikh Serajul, 4) Asad Sheikh (18) son of Showkat Sheikh, 5) Sahadat Sheikh (45), 6) Wadud Sheikh (40), 7) Sarwar Sheikh (35), all of late Sattar Sheikh  and  *8) Mintu Mollah (40) son of late Amjad Mollah and more 15 to 20 persons of the same locality armed  with country-made weapons attacked Hindu temple and their cremation ground.

The perpetrators also with intent to destroy the temple and cremation ground set fire on the Kali temple and destroyed the deity- Ma Kali. As a result of burning the deity Ma Kali burnt into ashes substantially. The cost of temple burnt with other belongings would be around Taka 50,000/-. When the fire broke spread out in the locality the Hindu communities came forward for protection of their temple and deities, but in the meantime their temple and deities burnt to ashes and the perpetrators escaped.

Devotees -Monoranjan Biswas, Sawpan Kumar Mondal, Nani Gopal Biswas, Jagadish Mondal instantly informed the matter to local Chairman Khaondakar Ohidul Bari Alam who visited the spot and he tried to console Hindus.

Monoranjan Biswas being complainant of the case lodged F.I.R. at Nagarkanda police station on 27.01.2009 against those perpetrators under section 295/297/436 of Bangladesh penal code which was registered as case No. 20 dated 27.1.09.

Perpetrators surrendered before the court of Sessions Judge, Faridpur and the court granted them ad interim bail on 10.08.2009.

It is also alleged that after getting bail from the court the perpetrators again intimidating the Hindus to withdraw the case.

The matter has been reported in different news papers of Bangladesh.

In West Bengal the situations of Hindus are worst in many areas than their counterparts in Bangladesh as such oppressesion and onslaughts upon Hindus are suppressed by the Secular Press and pro-Muslim and anti-Hindu Political Parties. Hindus are unheard an not even permitted in the Police Stations. Nobody knows this.

*************Some reflections of the same came to us from a southern districts of West Bengal.**************************

Land of 80 Years old Shiva Temple has been grabbed by fanatic Muslims and Temple de-sanctified by anti-Hindus, in Mograhat, West Bengal.

As the Black Stone Shiva Symbols are desecrated and uprooted twice, the earthen symbols are worshiped now after the original shifted elsewhere. (Pic. Prokash Das.)

An.absolutely dilapidated temple, named Prachin Shiva Mandir, is situated in the village named Dihi Kalash of Mograhat – I Block in South Pargans has been desecrated at least thrice including uprooting and throwing the Shiva Linga (Black stone Shiva Symbol). The nearby Muslim residents have been occupied the Devottar Sampatti ( Land permanently given to the service of God) through the sidelines of some 23 Satak (Decimal) land of the temple of Shiva.

The sevayet ( trustee or manager) of the Shiva Temple, Madhusudan Nasker told the Bengal Spotlight that the situation of Hindus concerning the protection of the Temple is unbearable and nobody gives us justice. There is a case for the illegal occupation of temple land by Abdul Gazi Gani being M/C No. 12/96 in Diamond Harbour Civil Court but the proceedings are being hampered for the non-appearance of the land grabbers. It is believed that one of the illegal occupier of the temple land, Md Hanna Gazi has such a rapport in the system that all the papers frequently disappear from the court itself.

Madhusudan Babu reported the matter everywhere in Police and Administration including Human Rights Commission, but it yields no result so far. With a very ardent zeal and devotion Mr Nasker and his wife are striving for restore the dignity of this 80 years old Shiva temple where their forefathers worshiped there earlier.
