[ad_1] Earlier on Thursday, half a dozen men sang a song calling for Islamic revolution on the stage of a Durga puja mandap at Jatra Mohan Sen Hall in Chattogram | Image: Shutterstock4 min read Last Updated : Oct 12 2024 | 8:46 AM IST Seventeen persons have been arrested and about a dozen cases registered after Bangladesh witnessed about 35 untoward incidents related to the ongoing Durga Puja celebrations across the country this month, police said here. The development comes a day after it was discovered that a hand-crafted golden mukut (crown) gifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was stolen from a Hindu temple in Bangladesh's southwestern Satkhira district amid Durga Puja celebrations, a theft over which India expressed concern. Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp The five-day Hindu religious festival began with an invocation of Goddess Durga, an occasion called Maha Shasthi on Wednesday. The celebrations would conclude with the immersion of Goddess Durga murtis on Sunday.  The minority Hindu population -- Hindus constitute just about 8 per cent of the 170 million Bangladesh population -- faced vandalism of their businesses, and properties and destruction of temples during the student-led violence that erupted following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5. Since October 1, 35 incidents related to the ongoing Durga Puja celebrations have occurred across the country, leading to 11 cases being filed, 24 general diaries (GD) registered, and 17 individuals arrested, newspaper The Dhaka Tribune said quoting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Moinul Islam. Islam visited the Banani Puja Mandap in Dhaka on Friday after which he told reporters that Durga Puja was being celebrated at over 32,000 mandaps nationwide. The IGP's visit was prompted after Hindus in Bangladesh woke up to a shock on Friday when news broke out about the theft of a hand-crafted golden mukut (crown) on Thursday at the Jeshoreshwari Kali temple in Satkhira during his visit to Bangladesh in 2021. The incident prompted the Indian High Commission here to urge the Bangladesh government to investigate the theft and recover the crown apart from taking action against the perpetrators. IGP Islam assured that the police have records of those responsible for the incidents and said: Anyone involved in these disruptions will be brought to justice. We will take strict action if anyone attempts to create chaos or engage in malicious activities during Durga Puja. Responding to a question about the attack in Chittagong, the IGP said, two people were arrested following a raid on Thursday and efforts are on to ascertain the motive behind it. Earlier on Thursday, half a dozen men sang a song calling for Islamic revolution on the stage of a Durga puja mandap at Jatra Mohan Sen Hall in Chattogram, about 250 km southeast of Dhaka, causing widespread outrage, the bdnews24.com said. Chattogram Metropolitan Police on Friday arrested two people over singing the song calling for Islamic revolution, newspaper The Business Standard said. A case was filed against seven people, including the Puja committee's joint general secretary Sajal Dutta, in connection with the Chattogram incident. Hillol Sen Uzzal, general secretary of the Puja Udjapan Parishad in Chattogram, told The Daily Star that the incident shocked the local Hindu community and created a tense situation in the area. A video clip of the incident went viral on social media causing further outrage. Earlier on Friday, Bangladesh police said they have identified a man in connection with the theft of the golden crown, and launched a massive manhunt to recover it. A private news channel showed a young man wearing a white T-shirt and jeans sneaking into the temple when no one was there, removing the golden part of the crown and pocketing it before going away. It could be a simple case of theft or it could be a case of an orchestrated plot.

We demand the matter be investigated properly and the persons involved be brought to justice, leader of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council Krishna Mukherjee said. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Sangbad Sangtha (BSS), the state-run news agency, said Chiefs of the three services -- Chief of Army Staff General Waker-Uz-Zama, Chief of Naval Staff Admiral M Nazmul Hassan and Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal Hasan Mahmood Khan -- visited the Ramna Kali Temple in Dhaka on Friday. Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Sazeeb Bhuiyan exchanged greetings with members of the Hindu community at the Durga Puja puja mandaps at Gallamari Harichand Tagore Temple and Bagmara Govinda Temple in Khulna on Friday. On Sunday, Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is expected to visit the centuries-old Dhakeswari national temple, one of the prominent shaktee peeths, in the heart of the national capital. Earlier last month, with threats from Islamist groups weeks ahead of the Durga Puja celebrations, the interim government's Religious Affairs Adviser AFM Khalid Hossain had warned of tough action against those disrupting communal harmony or targeting places of worship during the Hindu festival.

October 1 Protesters Present Demands to Tinubu's Government, Threaten Nationwide Demonstration Antigovernment protests under the banner "End Bad Governance" are set to take place across Nigeria on October 1, coinciding with the country's 64th Independence Day celebration. Protesters, primarily young Nigerians, have issued demands to President Bola Tinubu's administration, stating that they will cancel the demonstrations only if the government reinstates the fuel subsidy and addresses other key issues. Nigeria at 64: What Is the Nation’s Greatest Achievement? Rising Tensions Ahead of October 1 Protests The protests are expected to unfold in major city centres, particularly near government buildings and transport hubs. There is a heightened security presence across the nation in anticipation of potential clashes between protesters and security forces. The risk of confrontation is further elevated if authorities decide to ban the gatherings, as protest organizers have vowed to continue their demonstrations regardless of any restrictions imposed by the government. Key Demands of the Protesters The organizers, who previously led antihardship demonstrations in August, have articulated several demands from the Tinubu government: Reinstatement of Fuel Subsidy: One of the most significant issues fueling the protests is the removal of the petrol subsidy, which was announced by President Tinubu in his inaugural speech on May 29, 2023. Since the subsidy’s removal, fuel prices have surged from around N184 per litre to over N1,000 in many parts of the country. This spike has triggered a sharp rise in the cost of food and basic commodities, deepening the economic hardship faced by Nigerians. Woman Pretending To Be Pregnant Steals 7-Day-Old Baby During Naming Ceremony Reform of INEC: Protesters are calling for immediate reforms to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure more transparent and credible elections in the future. Reform of EFCC: They are also pushing for reforms within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to enhance its fight against corruption. Amendment of the Constitution: The demand for constitutional reforms reflects the desire for a legal framework that better serves the interests of all Nigerians. Reduction of Tinubu’s Cabinet and Cost of Governance: Protesters argue that the government must reduce its expenses by cutting down on the size of the cabinet and lowering the overall cost of governance. Unconditional Release of August Protesters: The demonstrators also insist on the release of individuals who were arrested during the August antigovernment protests. FG Declares October 1st Public Holiday to Mark Nigeria's 64th Independence Anniversary Government Response and Efforts to Prevent the Protest The Tinubu administration is reportedly taking steps to prevent the October 1 protests from escalating. Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, confirmed that the government is actively working to avoid a repeat of the August demonstrations. Despite these efforts, the organizers of the "Fearless October 1" protest remain resolute, insisting that they will not be deterred by police, the Department of State Services (DSS), or the military. In a formal letter to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, the protest organizers requested security for the demonstrations, emphasizing that peaceful protest is a fundamental right protected by the Nigerian constitution. Looking Ahead As Nigeria celebrates its 64th Independence Day, the protests highlight the deep frustration many citizens feel about the country’s economic challenges and governance issues. Whether the government meets the protesters’ demands or takes more aggressive steps to suppress the demonstrations remains to be seen. However, with tensions already high, the coming days could prove crucial in shaping the future political landscape of the country.
