It is to wipe out minorities from country
The Narail mayhem is not an isolated incident. It is a part of series of attacks being carried out one after another across the country in the last few years with a goal to wipe out minorities from the country.
Rana Dasgupta, general secretary of Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Oikya Parishad, said this, adding that communal forces have infiltrated the Awami League, the administration and law enforcement agencies.
"We don't see any effective move from the government or the ruling party to eradicate the communal forces. So far, we have not seen any instance that Awami League men built resistance against the communal forces carrying out attacks on minorities in anywhere across the country."
He added, "If any attacker is arrested, he comes out of jail within one or two weeks on bail. It takes a few years to prepare a charge sheet. As a result, a culture of impunity has been developed over the years."
Rana Dasgupta thinks existing laws are not enough to protect minorities. He demands enactment of the Minority Protection Act as well as establishing the National Minority Commission.
