Gazipur Executive Magistrate Sattajit Roy Dash said they would take legal action against the culprits soon. Gazipur Deputy Commissioner Mohammed Nurul Islam, Gazipur Police Superintendent Harun-or-Rashid and Joydebpur police station Officer-in-Charge Khandaker Rezaul Hasan visited the spot Monday afternoon.
During the visit, the DC assured the people of taking proper care of the injured people and repairing the damaged temple and idols but the local Hindus claim that the police is playing a dual role . Many Hindu families have sent their women to the relatives staying farther from Bonogram in order to prevent them from getting raped.
It is horrific what happened. How can we solve poverty so people are not tempted to convert, tempted to take out anger on the wrong people, tempted to let prejudice go out of control and tempted to let fear, ignorance or hunger driven anger go out of control and become social violence?
It is truly unfortunate…and the children on both sides, innocents on both sides, suffer.
My heart bleeds.
(The photo is the backyard of my house in Florida, with a gorgeous sunrise and sunset that I’d watch while swimming. I miss that compared to my crappy Chennai apartment. It is all apartment now in India…with no natural beauty or nature at all. Maybe this is why people are getting so stressed…and angry or hungry. But I must share that our gorgeous house was only 30 mins away from Sanford where a young Black teen was shot and killed…just for walking through his own neighborhood. There too a different kind of violence. How can we stop the violence?)
So when Muslims and Christians commit massacres and atrocities, it is because of “poverty”, “hunger” and “fear” where “both sides suffer”. But when Hindus try to defend themselves and their culture from the aforementioned barbarians, it is because they are “fascist” and “intolerant” and the minorities are being “persecuted”?
Not to mention your absurd comment suggesting that India lacks “natural beauty” because it’s “all apartment”. I thought India was terribly underdeveloped? How does that reconcile with your statement, which makes it sound like Japan?
Did I say that? You sort of project your issues, and try to put your own version, words and meaning into what I am saying. I made no distinction between Muslims, Christians, etc. conversion reasons. Hindus, by the way, do not have any formal conversions. You are born and bred a Hindu ; you follow Hinduism or you merely say so. If you wish you may go through some elaborate rituals to establish your HIndu identity…that is merely your choice. There is no conversion in Hinduism.
Did I say India? I said Chennai, and many cities, in India. Yes…these cities are losing their natural beauty. You need to read properly. You are not smart, you don’t think and you are argumentative. Krispy Doughnuts…I presume. Move to Britain…they need people with names like Krispy,
I am sure, the corrupt and biased secular main stream media includig various TV Channels won’t cover this kind of news ever to their Hindu viewers. Kudos to IndiaFact for carrying out the “Purva Paksha”.
WE NEED A LAW OF RETURN ASAP!
