The ongoing clashes in Bangladesh turned violent on Tuesday as three Hindu temples were targeted in Chattogram. The temples, which were targeted, included Lokonath Temple in Firangi Bazar, Mansa Mata Temple and Kali Mata Temple in Hazari Lane.
The development is part of the violence against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh that rose to alarming levels since then prime minister Sheikh Hasina was deposed on August 5 in a coup.
The recent protests erupted after the Hindus started protesting peacefully in large numbers in response to the organised attacks by Islamist radicals. The protests were organised by their social and religious organisation, chiefly ISKCON with followers all over the world.
The arrest of an ISKCON monk yesterday has drawn criticism from several quarters in India.
