Highlighted Comments
Lal Chand Sohag, the scrap trader who was brutally killed, was not a Hindu—as falsely reported by this and other hate-driven Indian media—but a Muslim. His deliberate misrepresentation served to inflame communal tensions.
When any violence surfaces, it’s met with allegations of propaganda from both sides, which distracts from the real issue: systemic oppression and fear facing minorities.
Whenever anyone talks about these extremists and how they're getting idolized for their crimes, they're tagged as 'Islamophobic.' There seems to be no accountability for these actions.
Historically, there have been multiple instances of violence, rapes, murders, and vandalism of minority properties and temples in Bangladesh. We need to confront this issue or it will escalate further.
