How Islamists are furthering their agenda of turning Bangladesh into a Hindu-hating nation

Op India  

Several days ago, an opposition leader in Bangladesh had termed Hindu holy scriptures as “pornographic”, whereas the government did not take any action against him for such extremely deplorable remarks. A doctored photo has been repeatedly shared by Islamists in Bangladesh on social media platforms, including Facebook that appears to show Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina receiving Hindu vermillion on her forehead, while the original photo was taken during her visit to India in 2012 and it does not show her taking part in the ritual. Islamists in Bangladesh have altered the original photograph through photoshop, while the caption of the original AP photo reads: “Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inspects a guard of honor in Agartala, in the northeastern Indian state of Tripura, Wednesday, January 11, 2012. For years, Jamaat-e-Islami and its ideological ally Bangladesh Nationalist Party have been continuously branding Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and leaders of the ruling Awami League as “agents of Hindus and India” while in some of the statements Jamaat and BNP had accused Sheikh Hasina for placing Hindus in important positions in government offices, armed forces, law enforcement agencies, and judiciary. Sitting in London, Tarique Rahman, acting chairman of BNP and a convicted fugitive with deeper connections with Pakistani spy agency Inter-Service Intelligence has been issuing video statements calling upon his party activists to wage jihad against Sheikh Hasina and ruling Awami League and embrace martyrdom by sacrificing lives to “salvage” Bangladesh from the grips of “pro-India” elements.
