This spate of attacks makes it the third major incident of communal violence this year. Earlier in February the attack on Hindu temple and households in Hathazari, Chittagong remained much under the radar. Major media of Bangladesh decided not to embarrass the so-called progressive secular government by publishing these stories of minority persecution. During the immediate aftermath, government leadership, in the face of utter failure to control the situation in a timely manner, found it convenient to blame the opposition political parties. Eight months have passed, but no real efforts have been made to investigate and punish the perpetrators in Hathazari. Taking this into consideration we strongly urge the Minority Forum and all other International Bodies to intervene with the Government of Bangladesh for its failure to protect minority lives and worship sites and at the same time the Government must implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities in its true spirit to ensure that peace and justice prevails in the region.
