I don’t understand how should be introduced. I cannot explain you how
terribly the Hindus in Bangladesh are being tortured. Hundreds of Hindu
houses, business shops, temples are being looted, vandalized and burnt.
It is still continuing. Hours after Jamaat top leader Delawar Hossain
Sayedee was sentenced to death, Jamaat and Shibir activists set fire to a
temple and houses of Hindu community at different parts of Noakhali
district on Thursday. Well, that was just a starting. Same incidents
have occurred in many other places on that day and on the following

This is a very short list and many incidents are not reached to us. We will never know how many women and girls are raped. Many secret black chapters will never take place in history. Hundreds of Hindus at Noakhali, Banshkhali are living under open sky. No shelter, foods, clothes are available for them. Government is doing about nothing for them.
The Islamic fundamentalist groups target to kill or convert or drive away all Hindus from Bangladesh to establish their dreamed ‘Islamic Bangladesh or Banglastan’. They are really performing good for their mission.
We don’t know what to do, where to go, how to live, how to save our families.
Please save us. Please.
