Bangladesh Terrorist Attacks: There is a threat of terrorism in Bangladesh, and the country’s Army Chief General Waqar Ujman has recently warned that there may be terrorist attacks in the country next month. He has said that based on intelligence information, there is a possibility of possible attacks next week. General Waqar discussed the issue in a meeting with senior army commanders in Dhaka and called for vigilance. This warning has come at a time when attacks on minorities by Islamic fundamentalists in the country are increasing.
On behalf of Islamic fundamentalists in Bangladesh, General Waqar discussed this serious situation amidst increasing violence against Hindus, especially Hindus. He said that the crime rate in the country is the same as previous years, but increasing violence is causing fear among the people. Apart from this, in a meeting with American senators, concern was expressed about the increasing extremism in Bangladesh. The Army Chief also said that decisive action is required to deal with terrorism.
Violence against minorities
Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, attacks on minorities by radical groups have intensified. According to reports, hundreds of incidents have taken place since August last year, in which the minority community was targeted. India has also expressed its concern over this violence. The Yunus government of Bangladesh had said to stop the violence, but these incidents continue even after eight months.
