The atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh are not showing any signs of stopping. In Shariatpur district here, a Hindu youth named Khokan Chandra was surrounded by a violent gang and then beaten brutally. The miscreants did not agree to this, they then attacked Khokan Das with a knife and then poured petrol on him and tried to burn him alive. This attack on a Hindu youth took place on Wednesday (31 December 2025), after which the youth somehow saved his life by jumping into the pond.
Fourth attack on Hindu within two weeks
According to the news of The Week, Khokan Chandra is the owner of a pharmacy and on December 31, he was attacked when he was going home from the shop. At present he is admitted in Shariatpur Sadar Hospital. This is the fourth attack on a Hindu in Bangladesh within two weeks. There has been an increase in violence against minorities, including Hindus, under the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus, which has angered people and many human rights organizations around the world.
India expressed concern over violence against minorities
India has expressed concern over the ongoing incidents of violence against religious minorities in the neighboring country Bangladesh. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, ‘India is monitoring the situation in Bangladesh and has expressed serious concern over the ongoing hostilities against minorities including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists there. More than 2,900 incidents of violence against minorities have been recorded during the tenure of the interim government. These incidents cannot be ignored.
Sheikh Hasina blames Yunus government
At the same time, the Foreign Ministry of Bangladesh said that the things said by India do not reflect the real situation of their country. Ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the Yunus government has failed to protect religious minorities and allows extremists to decide foreign policy. He said, ‘Yunus has appointed such people to positions of power and has released convicted terrorists from jail. The concerns that India has about the safety of its personnel are justified. A responsible government will protect diplomatic missions and prosecute those who threaten them.
