Jamaat men torch Hindu temple, houses in Noakhali

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 on Thursday.

Two people were killed as the activists clashed with law enforcers at different points of the district town, reports our Noakhali correspondent.

Md Khokon, 17, a tempo helper, received a bullet wound in the clash around 3:45pm, locals said.

Doctors pronounced Khokon dead after he was rushed to Noakhali Medical College Hospital at 4:00pm, said medical sources.

================================================================

where are the Jamaatis here? why the hell are they targeting Hindus in Bangladesh!!!

BAL is the target; not Hindus. Md Khokan is Mohammad Khokan who is a Muslim. He is surely not a temple helper. There is a mistake in this report.

Terror unleashed
At least 33 people, including four policemen, were killed and scores were injured in a spasm of violence yesterday in parts of the country after Jamaat-Shibir activists clashed with law enforcers to protest a death penalty to Delawar Hossain Sayedee.

Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir claimed that 20 of the dead were their members. The violence also left a college teacher and two Jubo League activists dead.

After the verdict that handed a death penalty to Sayedee, the angry protesters attacked a police outpost in Gaibandha killing three policemen on the spot and knifed to death a police constable in Chittagong -- the deadliest day since the first verdict was delivered on January 21.

In scenes that bring to mind the Liberation War rampage in 1971, the attackers set fire to a temple and houses of the Hindu community in Noakhali.

Even before the verdict was delivered, Jamaat-Shibir men were out on the streets to enforce a daylong shutdown to strike fears into the hearts of people, who expressed solidarity with the Shahbagh movement calling for capital punishment to war criminals.

In Dhaka, an unknown group unleashed a reign of terror by exploding a series of bombs in the residential neighbourhood of Mirpur-1.

A bomb hurled by the attackers exploded on a 35-year-old rickshaw-van driver at 8:00pm. He later bled to death.

Soon after announcement of the verdict, hundreds of Jamaat-Shibir men put barricades on the roads and attacked a police outpost at Banondanga railway station in Sunderganj upazila.

They beat up policemen with lethal weapons, killing three police constables -- Hazarat Ali, Najimuddin and Bablu Mia -- on the spot.

Three of their colleagues were rushed to Rangpur Medical College Hospital in critical condition.

The police retaliated with gunshots to disperse the attackers as they tried to set fire to the outpost by pouring petrol.

Three attackers were shot dead at this stage.

One of them was identified as Anej, 35, a vegetable vendor, but identities of the other two could not be known immediately.

Three other bullet-hit people were rushed to Sundeganj Health Complex.

The mob later set fire to Banondanga rail station, uprooted rail tracks and put barricades on roads besides vandalising several shops.

How many jamati died. Police firing to save their own life. It can easily understand the limit of violence by jamat. Police and innocent ppl are targets of jamat's attack.
Police firing only when the situation is going out of hands. And they r not worth of discussion. They become a extreme terrorist organization.
I heard today syedy wasn't a maolana. His identity is misleading. He given false info to muslims.
@ShadowFaux Anyone knows.

No I don't. Don't spread lies and deception. I hate the army personnel who participated in killing and raping during the 1971 war and expect a proper apology from the government of Pakistan. @WebMaster should take a note of that too.

But that doesn't even come close to the hatred i have for their Bangladeshi collaborators.

Thank you for your post.

let me tell you funny thing, when i said all current political parties are bad.. some people replied to me , do not try to be innocent I/we know how really you are..

after that i stopped talking to them, i realized no matter how you give your logic and be neutral , they always put you opposite side party

 

[ShadowFaux]

Why would I post propaganda? I am not a political activist. What I wrote is my opinion, I have not cut and posted anything.

Shabagh is just BAL orchestrated and organised propaganda.

Regarding what I said about Kader Mollah verdict.... Go read it and prove what I said wrong. I dare you.... PRove just one piece of prima facie evidence.... Not asking for much .... Just one piece....

If you can not be quiet and don't publicise your mental deficiencies.

Taking about yourself man?

Anyway, on a more serious note, Jamat has a few self-proclaimed r*z*kars. Why are you defending them? It's not like we are asking justice for all jamat members. We are asking punishment for the ones who have committed crimes in 1971.

you did not get it, those criminals are actually main leaders and pillar of jamat

 

[ShadowFaux]

Are you mad. The country of my birth that i love so much is tearing itself apart and you think I give a damn about point scoring on a forum.

I call fascism when I see it if that is against anyone holding BAL sympathises well tough.

Fascism is in Jamat's nature. They showed it in 1971. Now they wanna repeat the act. And seriously, they will get the result of 71 this time again too.

Instead of going to the court, Jamat is killing innocent people, attacking Mandirs, targetting Hindus. They are in a killing spree.

They are responsible for what is going on in my Shonar Bangla. Now please, don't try to portray Jamat as innocents. Their innocence ( ) is clear to the patriotic people by now. In case you didn't get that, I was being sarcastic on the last line.

i can't confirm as I don't know that.

He said- "tempo helper"

you did not get it, those criminals are actually main leaders and pillar of jamat

The followers would try to follow their same old 1971 style ideology, no? Then the whole party is a big threat to our sovereignty.

look what Khatib is saying..
Khatib slams vandalism at nat'l mosque
The Khatib (chief imam) of the national mosque Baitul Mukarram yesterday lambasted those who resorted to vandalism inside the mosque on Friday last in the name of protesting alleged atheist activities of the bloggers at Shahbagh.

Terming mosques as the most sacred places on earth, the Khatib, Maulana Mohammad Salauddin, said all must be respectful to the sanctity of mosques where Muslims bow down to Almighty Allah.

The Khatib and the director general (DG) of Islamic Foundation that manages and supervises the national mosque addressed a press conference against the backdrop of Friday's incident.

The DG, Shamim Mohammad Afzal, said "followers of Moududi" (In Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami men are known as Moududi followers) were involved in Friday's incident, and they torched floor mat of the national mosque, pulled up tiles and engaged in other acts of vandalism inside it.

Terming "Moududi followers" as oppressors, Shamim demanded that the authorities identify these people who desecrated the national mosque under the banner of Islamist parties.

In this situation, the Islamic Foundation has decided to keep the North Gate of the mosque closed every Friday till further notice to prevent using it as a platform for any political party's programmes.

Announcing this, the DG called upon all devotees to use the West, East and South gates of the mosque on Fridays to maintain the sanctity of the mosque and to keep it free from any political activity.

“We have taken the decision so that none can use the North Gate of the national mosque as a platform for political activities, which desecrate the mosque,” Shamim said.

About the vandalism on Friday, he said those involved in it are enemies of Islam and the country. “They pose a serious threat to the sovereignty of our country.”

No I don't. Don't spread lies and deception. I hate the army personnel who participated in killing and raping during the 1971 war and expect a proper apology from the government of Pakistan. @WebMaster should take a note of that too.

But that doesn't even come close to the hatred i have for their Bangladeshi collaborators.

Thank you for your post.

You opposed me for supporting Kashmir's freedom in another thread.
