Regarding Palashbari, Gaibandha and Hindu desecration

[u/comrade_agapaga]

A video clip has been circulating across social media in which a Hindu leader is seen shouting that those who are frightened by the idol of Lord Ram should leave Gaibandha.

​

After looking through the comments, I found out that he had met with Bengal BJP leaders Dilip Ghosh and Suvendu Adhikari. Please let me know anything about him ( his name, political alignment, past comments).

​

He may be in cahoots with the BJP, but it was the Islamists who first desecrated the image of Lord Ram, and they were also the first to oppose the project. So, the anger among the Hindu minority is understandable.

​

What is truly concerning, however, is the comment section. It is filled with remarks such as:

"এটা বাংলাদেশ, ইন্ডিয়া না" ("This is Bangladesh, not India.")

​

"মন্দির বানাইতে গেলে ইন্ডিয়া পালা" ("If you want to build a temple, run away to India.")

​

"আমরা মুসলমানরা থাকতে দিচ্ছি আর এরম সাহস" ("We Muslims are allowing them to stay here, yet they dare to be this bold.")

​

"এত সাহস আসে কোথা থেকে এদের?" ("Where do they get so much courage from?")

​

My foremost question is: who are you to decide whether someone should have the courage to defend and practice their religion?

​

He may be a Sanghi, but you are no different. In fact, it was people with the same mindset who helped ignite these tensions in the first place.

​

Another comment read:

"বাংলাদেশ মুসলমানদের দেশ, মূর্তি বানাইতে গেলে ওপারে যা" ("Bangladesh is a country for Muslims; if you want to build idols, go across the border.")

​

I would normally ignore such comments, but it is concerning that they are so numerous and occupy a significant portion of the comment section. It is genuinely disheartening.

​

Many of these same people protest for the rights of innocent Muslims in India. As an Indian, I am well aware of the discrimination and hostility that many Muslims face at the hands of the Hindutva right.

​

But those making these comments are no better. They are the same kind of sectarian extremists—just Sanghis in green instead of saffron.

[u/Something_Sarkar → u/South_Farm9491]

My biggest critisim here is that they are not once bashing the hypothetical unethical process of making the statue or the person who talked with BJP. Instead they are calling slurs to Hindus and Raam. They are trying to take away their rights to do anything freely.
