“The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council said that 45 out of 64 districts in the country had seen the targeting of mostly Hindu homes, businesses or temples this week. A school teacher had been killed and 45 other people hurt, it said,” Reuters reported Thursday.
Persecuted Hindus were trying to flee to neighbouring India. “Early on Thursday, about 300 Bangladeshis had assembled at a border point near India’s Jalpaiguri district but dispersed later. Indian media showed Indian border troops around a group of people there,” the news agency noted.
The anti-Hindu rioting started after countries Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government was brought down by nationwide protests organized by Pakistan-linked Jama’at-i Islami and allied parties.
