Yunus&#8217; government, propped up by Jamaat-e-Islami radicals, fosters this hatred, turning a blind eye as extremists erase Hindu heritage ahead of sham elections designed to cement their grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Faridpur&#8217;s Malopara Kali Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Faridpur town&#8217;s Bhatilakshipur Malopara neighbourhood, miscreants struck the Sarbojanin Sri Sri Ma Kali Temple between 12:30 a.m. and dawn on February 3. After a seven-day religious observance ended at midnight, locals returned home\u2014leaving the site vulnerable to hate-fueled vandals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five idols were brutally smashed: Saraswati&#8217;s hands broken, Ganga&#8217;s face mutilated, two others&#8217; hands shattered, and a thermacol Gour-Nitai figure reduced to five pieces. Temple committee president Nimai Chandra Malo, representing 70 Hindu families, expressed raw terror: \u201cLast year on the same day, our idols were vandalised\u2014caught on CCTV then. This time, technical glitches silenced our three cameras. We&#8217;re living in fear. Bring these cowards to justice now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=5990\">Hindu Lynching:&nbsp;High Court slams Yunus regime with demand for massive compensation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=6045\">Jamaat\u2019s View On Women: Mia Golam Porwar masks deep-seated misogyny<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=6059\">Yunus Backs Jihadists: Hindus butchered with impunity as sham elections loom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police and army inspected the site, but OC Md. Shahidul Islam&#8217;s promise of &#8220;swift action&#8221; rings hollow in a regime where perpetrators vanish into the shadows of impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rajbari&#8217;s Hatbongram Mahashmashan Kali Temple<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Pangsha Upazila&#8217;s Hatbongram Baro Palli, the roofed, permanent Sri Sri Mahashmashan Kali Temple\u2014guarded by no watchman and no CCTV\u2014became easy prey. Between evening February 2 and dawn February 3, vandals used bamboo poles or iron rods to distort the clay Kali idol&#8217;s face, along with Shiva, serpent, and Dakini-Yogini figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Momota Barman discovered the horror in the afternoon; soon, committee members and locals gathered in shock. Puja Udyapan Committee general secretary Bidhan Kumar Biswas raged: \u201cThese aren&#8217;t humans\u2014they&#8217;re monsters. Generations have lived in harmony here across faiths. A selfish cabal is destroying our brotherhood for their twisted agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASP (Pangsha Circle) Debabrata Sarkar, OC Sheikh Mainul Islam, and SP Mohammad Manjur Morshed inspected, vowing investigations and arrests. Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md. Rifatul Haq blamed election chaos: \u201cA group is stirring unrest to scare voters. We&#8217;re alert\u2014no criminal will escape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet no arrests, no suspects\u2014typical Yunus-era theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=5923\">Report: 66 minority deaths, 28 rapes, 95 temple attacks occurred in 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=5898\">Jihadist backing, minority persecution are foundations of Yunus\u2019 power<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=5830\">Yunus\u2019 Hate Campaign: Another Hindu youth burned alive in Narsingdi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pattern Of Sacrilege<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn&#8217;t isolated. In Munshiganj&#8217;s Sirajdikhan Upazila, North Abirpara village, on January 25 night, miscreants smashed Saraswati&#8217;s head and overturned her veena at a household shrine\u2014another quiet desecration in the dead of night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Khulna&#8217;s Paikgacha, the historic Shibbati Sri Sri Ras Temple faced similar filth on January 12 evening. Worshippers found the Ras Puja idol vandalised during evening lamp lighting; reports suggest shoes hung on deities in an ultimate insult. Locals alerted police and committees, but accountability remains a cruel joke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=6059\">Yunus Backs Jihadists: Hindus butchered with impunity as sham elections loom<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyrepublicbd.com\/?p=6053\">Jagannath University: Hindu students install temple, foiling Yunus\u2019 toilet project<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These incidents pile onto BHBCOP&#8217;s grim tally: over 2,000 communal attacks since August 2024, including 95+ temple assaults in 2025 alone, surging into 2026 with 9 more worship site hits by late January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yunus&#8217; Complicit Silence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yunus&#8217; regime, allied with Jamaat fanatics, presides over this Hindu-hating spree with deliberate inaction. False blasphemy pretexts, mob violence, and idol-smashing go unpunished\u2014creating a culture where extremists act freely. Yunus downplays it all as &#8220;criminal,&#8221; not communal, while minorities face existential dread before February 12&#8217;s rigged polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hindus aren&#8217;t just fearful\u2014they&#8217;re being systematically erased. Temples founded on harmony are turned into battlegrounds by a government that protects perpetrators over victims. How many more broken idols, how much more shattered faith, before the world forces Yunus to answer for his bloody legacy?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the watch of Muhammad Yunus&#8217; extremist-backed interim dictatorship, Hindu sacred spaces continue to be targeted with brazen impunity.
