In a disturbing development, another Hindu temple was set on fire in Bangladesh amid rising incidents of violence against religious minorities in the country. The Mahabhagya Lakshminarayan Mandir, located in Dhor village, on the outskirts of Dhaka, became the latest target in a series of attacks on Hindu places of worship. The fire, which occurred on the night of Friday, between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM, caused significant damage to the temple structure and the idols of Lakshmi Narayan. The attackers reportedly used petrol or a similar flammable substance to ignite the fire, which destroyed valuable religious artifacts and property inside the temple.

This attack is just the latest in a troubling pattern of incidents targeting the Hindu community in Bangladesh, where Hindu temples and religious institutions have been subjected to violence and destruction in recent months. Radharaman Das, the Vice President of ISKCON Kolkata, confirmed the details of the incident to PTI, stating that the Vaishnavism community had been repeatedly targeted in these attacks. The fire caused irreparable damage to the idols, symbolizing the escalating hostility faced by Hindus in the country.

ISKCON officials have raised alarms over the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh following the recent events. The interim government, which came into power after the downfall of the Awami League government, has been criticized for failing to take sufficient measures to prevent such violence. Despite the increasing frequency of these attacks, the Bangladeshi authorities have been accused of not doing enough to protect religious minorities.

The attacks have been especially concerning after the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das in Chittagong earlier this year. Das, a prominent spokesperson for the Bangladesh Sammilit Sanatan Jagran Jote, was arrested under sedition charges, further fueling protests and concerns regarding the treatment of Hindu leaders in the country.

In Dhor village, Babul Ghosh, the supervisor of another Hindu temple, recounted a similar incident where attackers attempted to burn down the Shri Mahabhagya Lakshminarayan Mandir, a temple managed by his family. Ghosh described how the perpetrators poured petrol on the idols and set them alight while his family was away. Fortunately, the flames were doused in time by the community members, preventing further destruction.

This incident follows the disturbing trend of religious violence in Bangladesh, where Hindus and their places of worship have been continuously targeted. The recent temple fire in Dhaka is part of an alarming rise in extremism, sparking a demand from ISKCON and other Hindu groups for stronger action from the Bangladeshi government. The violence raises questions about the safety of religious minorities in the country and the ability of the government to protect them from such attacks.

Human rights advocates and religious groups continue to express their concerns over the growing intolerance and violence targeting religious communities in Bangladesh. With attacks on Hindu temples and the arrest of Hindu leaders, the situation in Bangladesh remains a critical issue for those advocating for human rights and religious freedom.
