Dhaka, Jan 20: Poll-related unrest in Bangladesh shows no sign of easing. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its Islamist allies, especially Jamaat-e-Islami, continue to hold the country to ransom. Activists of BNP targeted the minority Hindus and torched Chapotala and Malopara villages in Jassore. They attacked their houses and shops with crude weapons and sticks, displacing around 600 villagers. Attacks against minorities were also carried out in Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh and Gaibandha. The Hindus, under the aegis of Acharya Vivekananda Goswami International group, came out on the streets to raise their voice against the crimes committed by BNP and Jamaat activists.
