The video highlights what Jebtik describes as a meticulously orchestrated campaign to incite violence against Hindus and destabilise the country ahead of upcoming elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jebtik points to the alarming rise of the \u201cTMD\u201d hashtag on social media, particularly on Facebook, where it has appeared in over 226,000 posts. He explains that \u201cTMD\u201d stands for \u201cTotal Malaun Death,\u201d a derogatory term aimed at the complete elimination of the Hindu community. According to Jebtik, this campaign is being executed subtly through propaganda to create a mindset conducive to violence. \u201cThis is being done very skillfully and softly,\u201d he said, urging viewers to investigate the hashtag for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing parallels with historical atrocities, Jebtik references the Rwandan genocide, where 800,000 Tutsis were killed in 100 days after a prolonged propaganda campaign created a \u201ckillable\u201d mindset against them. He warns that a similar \u201cmanufacturing of consent\u201d is underway in Bangladesh, with the TMD hashtag serving as a key tool to fuel anti-Hindu sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u099f\u09bf\u098f\u09ae\u09a1\u09bf \u0995\u09b0\u09cd\u09ae\u09b8\u09c2\u099a\u09bf ; \u09b9\u09bf\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09c1 \u09ae\u09c7\u09b0\u09c7 \u09a8\u09bf\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u099a\u09a8 \u09ac\u09a8\u09cd\u09a7\u09c7\u09b0 \u09b7\u09dc\u09af\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0!\" width=\"1110\" height=\"624\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sxqkdYrupew?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The activist highlights a recent incident in Tongi, where Mohammad Mohibullah Miyaji, a 65-year-old khatib of Jama Masjid in TNT Colony, claimed he was kidnapped by the Hindu organisation ISKCON. Miyaji alleged that ISKCON had been pressuring him for months to promote their agenda and even subjected him to physical and sexual abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4244\">Jihadists wage war against ISKCON after police clear two Hindus of rape charges<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4258\">Yunus\u2019 militia and the rising threat of Pakistan-backed jihadists in Bangladesh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4278\">Experts submit dossier to ICC, ICJ on systematic judicial violations under Yunus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This claim sparked widespread protests and public calls for violence against Hindus, though Jebtik notes that the term \u201cISKCON\u201d is being used as a proxy for the broader Hindu community. He questions the plausibility of Miyaji\u2019s claims, asking why ISKCON would target a relatively obscure khatib from a small mosque instead of prominent religious figures in major cities like Dhaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jebtik also points to other disturbing developments, such as a public rally where a gun was brandished\u2014later claimed to be a toy gun\u2014and the proliferation of anti-Hindu propaganda on YouTube and mainstream media. He cites a television channel\u2019s report alleging that Hindu youths are exploiting Muslim women, further stoking communal tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ISKCON-F.jpg 1060w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis propaganda is designed to create a mindset that could lead to a large-scale genocide,\u201d he warns, drawing comparisons to historical events like the Armenian genocide, the Rohingya crisis, and mass violence in Cambodia and Darfur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activist suggests that this campaign is part of a broader strategy to destabilise Bangladesh, particularly in the context of upcoming elections. He claims that elements within the government, including those who have placed loyalists in key positions across ministries, universities, and state institutions, are working to prevent a smooth democratic process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jebtik references the recent discovery of weapons on the Varnalata train by the army as evidence of increasing arms smuggling, alongside reports from Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain about youth receiving judo, karate, and weapons training. \u201cThese are preparations for a tense and violent future,\u201d he warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4275\">Report: 528 Awami League leaders, activists killed since July 2024<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4266\">Ex-FM Momen bins OHCHR report, asks UN chief to reinvestigate violence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=4263\">Press secretary\u2019s brother, a joint secretary, made Narayanganj city administrator<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a direct appeal to the government and state institutions, Jebtik calls for increased vigilance and action against those promoting communal violence through campaigns like TMD. \u201cIf you fail to monitor and act, you must consider yourselves part of this conspiracy,\u201d he asserts, suggesting that such unrest may be a deliberate tactic to mask governmental failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jebtik concludes his video with a passionate call to action for his viewers: \u201cStay vigilant, raise your voice, and reclaim our country. This is our nation, and we must speak out to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video has sparked heated discussions online, with many expressing concern over the rising communal tensions and others questioning the credibility of the claims fueling the TMD campaign. As Bangladesh approaches a critical election period, Jebtik\u2019s warning underscores the urgent need for unity and accountability to prevent further escalation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a powerful new video, prominent Bangladeshi social media influencer and rights activist Arif Jebtik has raised serious concerns about a growing conspiracy targeting the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
