The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday issued its first response to the attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh in which three people were killed and 60 others were injured. Multiple cases of communal violence during the Durga Puja festivities in Bangladesh's Chandpur Hajiganj Upazila were reported late on Wednesday, prompting the government to deploy paramilitary force in 22 districts.
Referring to the incident, MEA Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the Indian embassy and the High Commission in Dhaka are in close contact with Bangladesh authorities on the developments and trust the administration with conducting a fair investigation on the matter.
"We have seen disturbing reports involving attacks on religious places. We note the Bangladesh government's prompt response. We understand that the government has deployed security and police and the festivities have continued. Our Embassy and High Commission in Dhaka is in close contact with the Bangladesh authority in the capital as well as at the local level. We leave the investigation authority on the Bangladesh administration," Bagchi informed during a press briefing.
Former Bangladesh Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, reacting to the incidents, said the attacks seem to have been organised by terrorist communal forces adding that the police has opened fire at the rioters. Speaking to Republic TV, Inu said except for the five pockets where the unrest took place on Wednesday, the police have ensured peace and tranquillity in all the regions.
