B'desh: Awami League says Hindu man abducted, brutally assaulted in yet another incident of violence

Kinkor Das abducted, brutally assaulted in Narail district as Awami League condemns escalating violence against Hindu minorities under Yunus regime.

"The story of Kinkor Das is a chilling testament to the terror facing the Hindu community in Bangladesh. - Awami League"

Dhaka, Oct 22

In yet another disturbing act of violence against minorities in Bangladesh, a Hindu man, Kinkor Das, was abducted and disappeared by a group of armed men from the Mauli area in Narail district, the Awami League said on Wednesday.

According to the party, a day after his abduction, Das was found with signs of brutal torture, having been savagely beaten, while his motorcycle, gold chain and ring were looted.

Sharing the information on X, the Awami League wrote, "The story of Kinkor Das is a chilling testament to the terror facing the Hindu community in Bangladesh. He was abducted, tortured, and robbed. His case is not an isolated incident -- it is the horrifying reflection of a state that silently permits the systematic persecution of minorities."

Slamming the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, the party said, "Under the illegitimate Jamaat-backed Yunus regime, temple desecrations, idol demolitions, and targeted violence have become routine. Justice is a forgotten word."

Questioning the interim government, the Awami League asked, "What kind of government is this, where being a minority is treated as a crime?"

Bangladesh has witnessed escalating violence against minorities, including Hindus under the Yunus-led interim government, sparking outrage among people and several human rights organisations across the globe.

Last month, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina stated that the wave of multidimensional violence unleashed upon the Hindu community by the Yunus-led interim government since August 2024 has shocked the entire world.

"Deeply worried" by the attacks on the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh, Hasina said that the current period in the country is a horrific time of persecution of religious minorities across the nation.

Additionally, the Hasina-led Awami League party also condemned the attacks on temples and vandalism of idols during the Durga Puja preparations.

"Since this illegitimate group seized state power, killings have been carried out against Hindus and other minority communities," the party said, criticising the Yunus regime.

Expressing grave concern, the Awami League also alleged that the Yunus regime has rendered Bangladesh unsafe for people of all faiths and beliefs.

Very disturbing news. Bangladesh has always been our friendly neighbor, but such incidents create tension between our countries. Hope the authorities take strict action against the perpetrators.

While this violence is unacceptable, we should be careful about political narratives. The Awami League has its own agenda, and we need balanced reporting. The focus should be on protecting human rights, not political point-scoring.

As someone who has visited Bangladesh, I know most Bangladeshis are peaceful people. These extremist elements don't represent the entire country. Hope the situation improves soon and justice is served.

This pattern of violence against minorities is deeply concerning. India should use diplomatic channels to ensure protection of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Our government has a responsibility towards our cultural brethren.

Religious persecution anywhere is unacceptable. The world cannot remain silent when minorities are targeted. UN and human rights organizations must intervene and ensure protection for all communities in Bangladesh.
