And we are both nations whose aspirations are being realized through the ingenuity and the resiliency of our people.”

Dear Secular Government!!

Previously “Ma durga” was demolished by the communal quarter in Gopalgonj and now again “Ma Kali” is fully demolished by the Muslims in Bangladesh. This is an open question to the devoted, why only the Hindu Goddess is under attack? What is the reason behind? Why the Government is silent? How man y Goddess will be demolished? In Bangladesh Minority Wife, Sister and Mother are not safe and in Temple Holy Goddess are not safe? Sadhan Biswas a local devote of “Ma Durag” said that “Those who can demolish the soil made Goddess they will not hesitate to kill us “. We highly demand to the Mr.Sitangshu Guha to take this brutal incident immediately to the concerned national and international community. We urge to every devotee to take actions from their position to secure the religious rights of the minorities as soon as possible.

On 26th January 2009 around 9 pm a group of local violent and highly armed Muslims led by Mohammed Siraj the ex-chairman of Banesordi (Faridpur) attacked on the Sosan(Hindu Grave yard) and then attacked on by the side “Kali Mondir” . They fired in the temple and demolished the holy Goddesses. As the local devote run to safe the holy temple from the brutal attack of the violent Muslims the highly armed threat the helpless devotee with arms. These highly armed, Violent Muslims are the supporters of workers and supporters of Local BNP. According to RS and CS record the place said temple belongs to the Hindu community. The greedy Muslims intent to grab the lands of the Temple and Sosan ( Hindu Grave yard).

The member of Temple committee, Shri Monoronjon Biswas filed a case describing the brutal atrocities on Hindu minority in Nogor Kanda
