Yes, they were burning temples, stoning police and attacking a train very peacefully.
“Bangladesh violence spreads after Modi’s visit, attacks on Hindu temples, train,” by Ruma Paul, Reuters, March 28, 2021:
COX’S BAZAR (Reuters) – Hundreds of members of a hardline Islamist group attacked Hindu temples and a train in eastern Bangladesh on Sunday, police and a local journalist said, as violence spread across the country in the wake of a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Local police and doctors have said at least 11 protesters have been killed since Friday in clashes with police during demonstrations organised by Islamist groups against the Indian leader’s visit. Violence has raged on since Modi’s departure as anger has swelled over the deaths….
Islamist groups accuse Modi of discriminating against minority Muslims in Hindu-majority India.
On Friday, dozens of people were injured in the densely-populated capital Dhaka as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters.
Thousands of Islamist activists marched down streets across Bangladesh on Sunday.
Activists with the Hefazat-e-Islam group attacked a train in the eastern district of Brahmanbaria, resulting in ten people being injured, a police official said….
Several government offices, including the land office and a government-sponsored music academy, were set on fire and several Hindu temples were also attacked, said Javed Rahim, a journalist in Brahmanbaria town….
Islamist activists also set alight two buses in the western district of Rajshahi on Sunday, while hundreds of protesters clashed with police in several places, pelting them with stones, three police sources in three districts said.
Protesters used electric poles, timber and sand bags to block roads and police retaliated with rubber bullets and tear gas, leaving dozens injured in Narayanganj, just outside the capital, Dhaka, one police official said.
Protesters also vandalised and burned several buses in Dhaka as they blocked many roads, a police official said.
The protests have flared into wider demonstrations against police killings, and the Hefazat-e-Islam enforced a nationwide strike on Sunday.
“Police opened fire on our peaceful supporters,” Hefazat-e-Islam’s organising secretary Azizul Haque told a rally. “We will not let the blood of our brothers go in vain.”

I know that a part of the reason Modi is visiting Bangladesh physically, even though he’s only been meeting other world leaders virtually, are the elections next door in Left Bengal:a huge portion of that state’s population, if not the majority, laments the existence of 2 Bengals. Nonetheless, he needs to come down hard on 2 things:
– Illegal Bangladesh immigration to India
– Persecution of Bangladeshi Hindus, Buddhists and Christians, forcing many to flee to India
Essentially tell Bangladesh that India will start seizing and annexing their territory for all the extra Bangladesh citizens that they’re forced to take in
Soundaryambha says
Modi a clone of mk.gandhi has proved to be the worst appeaser among all dhimmi politicians of India.
Whatever he does , his band of sycophants praise as ”Raj Tantra” .He calls the jihadi mujibur rehman ”banga bandhu”. Has promised scholarships for lot of bangladeshis. I don’t think Modi & his bjp are going to deport illegals. They are spread all over India including Southern States.
The jihadis got emboldened only because of Modi. They know Modi does not care for casualties among Hindus. In West Bengal Modi gave a shawl to relatives of karyakartas killed.
I read Sheikh Hasina is seeking the help of Modi to deport few rohingyas in bangladesh to Myanmar. Modi would only allow them to enter India as he has been on a frenziedly appeasing spree.
Infidel says
I agree w/ this. It’s ridiculous of him not to have raised the issue of Bangladeshi illegals in India w/ Hasina: he should have told her that for every x muslim immigrants who enter India illegally, India will encroach on and annex y sq miles of Bangladeshi territory
The only positive aspect of this visit was his visit to the 2 ?: Bangladeshi Hindus are very much encouraged by this
In Left Bengal, I think the BJP is treading very carefully to force Mumtaz Banerjee to overplay her hand… and foot, which she has been doing. I’ve not seen so much hubris from her since she debuted in 1984
Soundaryambha says
I grew up in West Bengal ( Kolkata ) under communist regime of jyoti basu. There was no social media , no Internet then. TV was also controlled by autocratic government. During communist regime the entrenchment of illegal jihadis took place.
Mamata banerjee has only inherited this jihadi legacy. Subramaniam Swamy gets it right when he says ” She is riding a tiger”.
Today owing to 24/7 tv we presume violence has increased under Mamata. Not at all. Whatever one might say Mamata certainly is no jihadi as mujibur rehman.
If appeaser Modi can glorify mujibur the murderer of Hindus what forbade him from having heart to heart cordial talks with Mamata ?
This pampering of jihadis is done by ALL chief ministers. Mulayam Singh Yadav fired upon all Hindu Karsevaks. Indira Gandhi shot dead more than hundred Sadhus just because they asked for ban on Cow slaughter. Modi keeps tweeting greetings on their birthdays etc. Has done nothing to address core issues of Hindus.
It is his ministry that has been spending millions on ”lighting up tombs of invaders” like aurangazeb etc.
In Telengana so many Hindus have been butchered by jihadi owaisi. Modi is unfazed. During shaheen bagh followed by Delhi riots Modi did nothing to prevent the annihilation of Hindus.
Modi knows Hindus voting for him is a given. There is no other choice for Hindus. Hence his focus has been on wooing inimicals . That is the reason he has been exclusively pampering them. I wrote about billions pumped in for several schemes benefitting ONLY muslims. Nothing for Hindus. Christians are also equally pampered.
Even if he wins in WB , rest assured Modi is NOT going to deport a single illegal rohingya and / or bangladeshi. Today they are spread all over India. Not confined to WB.
As Ravinar puts it hindu casualties form the “electoral flesh” for modi. Tabligi jihadi leader has not been arrested / punished by bjp. It is this bjp government that gave visas to all tablighis. Which is illegal to start with.
You must have read about their conduct when Covid broke out. They urinated , threw shit , stones , spat on nurses & doctors. Why did the doctors & nurses tolerate? THAT is secularism in India. Had a single Hindu come up with such unruly behaviour a single nurse would have reacted with more violence even KILLING calling it self defense. Indian doctors & nurses are very violent . Only because it was muslim shit , spit , urine & muslim stone pelters all of them bore with ”secular” tolerance.
The very affluent Bohra community among muslims support modi. In Kerala bjp has allied with christians. Modi does not care for Hindus anymore. Even the SC , ST act shot down by Supreme Court has been reintroduced by modi. He is an enemy of Brahmins. Modi belongs to obc. Majority of RSS are OBC I read. All of them keep repeating ”inclusive governance….appeejment of none”. Modi is very much into caste politics. Quite devious.
Infidel says
Soundaryambha, you are right that violence in Left Bengal was always there since Jyoti Basu came to power in 1977. He was a Marxist, and the only reason his government wasn’t dismissed was that they did a good job brainwashing people on communism, otherwise Indira Gandhi would have been happy to dismiss his government. And yeah, the violence we see there is a continuation of what had happened the previous 30 years
If you recall, Mamata was an ally of the BJP before she dumped them b’cos she thought that illegal muslim votes were more useful. Had she stayed true to that alliance, the BJP could have given her the non-Bengali vote in that state. She’s very much a jihadist – in 2017, she banned Durga Puja visarjans during Muharram on Vijaya Dashami, and she had an edict banning Hindu celebrations beating drums during azaan. Mujib at least had the excuse that the majority of his population was muslim. What’s her’s?
On the Christian thing, reason the BJP has started wooing Christians is that there’s one church that’s recognized the marriage jihad, and has turned to them, knowing that no one else will either care nor dare, and the BJP has reciprocated thinking that that’s the beginning of making inroads into Kerala. Those Christians are less likely to focus on converting Hindus, and more focused on keeping their flock in the pen
You also said that Hindus don’t want such traitors visiting their temples, but in Bangladesh, the community there has felt those 2 temple visits as a shot in the arm. I was watching a Bengali-language YouTube channel ‘Hindu lives matter’ on YouTube last night, which focuses mainly on the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, but sometimes also touches on Indian grooming jihad cases, like Nikita Tomar. The presenter said a lot of things about how overjoyed the Hindu community there was about Modi’s visits to the temples, something that he didn’t have to do, since he was there to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their independence
On the caste thing, you’ve gotta know that every political party in India since independence had this formula of $MY_FAVORITE_CASTE + muslims, which is how any party hoped to win elections. The BJP was the sole party that did not focus on caste, since they started w/ writing off the muslims and therefore needed the Hindu vote. Whatever you wrote about them was their recognition that to do that, they’d have to split non-Brahmins from the Congress and others to shut them out of power
Also, the BJP now has age based term limits, so Modi won’t be renominated as Prime Minister in 2024. That’s why they’re building up Amit Shah. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if Yogi’s success in UP enables him to claim the mantle of leadership, unless Amit Shah can successfully bring in NRC and deport Bangladeshis and Rohingyas

Soundaryambha, your belief that Jihad in India does not predate the election of Modi is mistaken.
Soundaryambha says
Entire credit of boldly mentioning the word ‘jihad’ & exposing it threadbare goes to
Robert Spencer & Hugh Fitzgerald.
It is Svami Vivekananda who calls advent of islam into India ”Holocaust of Hindus”.
However our schools , the text books we were forced to read , media , movies -all eclipsed the truth. The text books ( till date dhimmi bjp has not changed anything its useless minister vainly claimed we have changed not a comma , not a word) glorified the invaders both mohammedan & christian invaders. Everything has been under the vicious control of communists / leftists of India. Bjp has done nothing to purge India of its leftists. It has no intention of doing so. In the past has allied with them. Its only motive is to capture power & lord over Hindus in tandem with pampering our inimicals. Understand this is called ‘secularism’ in Indian parlance.

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yes, they were burning temples…
“They” of course being devout, agitated Moslems. Burning down Hindu temples is a tradition of Islam, especially on Friday afternoons.
But they should watch out for Modi, he knows how to bite back. He’s capable of what they call “realism”.
Infidel says
You’re thinking about Modi when he was a chief minister (equivalent of our governors here) more than 10 years ago. He’s moderated considerably since becoming India’s #1 guy: all the attacks on him over the previous decade apparently softened him
Good thing is that this is his last term, and the next prime minister is likely to be tougher on muslims. And that happens in 2024
gravenimage says
Infidel, Modi–whatever his shortcomings–has been *much* more honest about the threat of Jihad than have most Indian leaders.
Infidel says
Yeah, b’cos the opposition parties are all socialist and secular pro-islam parties (think of them like a Baath party in India, siding w/ muslims against majority Hindus, just like the Baathists in Iraq supported the minority sunnis and the ones in Syria support the minority Alawite).. Those people are pro jihad
I was talking about Modi vs others within his party who are better than him, particularly his deputy Amit Shah, and the chief minister of UP Yogi Adityanath. The latter is a monk who’s turned his state – previously a ?hole in India – into one of the best governed states in the country. If he gets in, it would be like Churchill coming to power: he’s the one who’s immediately passed a law on marriage jihad, cracked down heavily on cow slaughter (which essentially has meant muslim stealing cows from Hindu villagers and slaughtering the cows) and desecration of temples.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Modi–whatever his shortcomings–has been *much* more honest about the threat of Jihad than have most Indian leaders.
That what my point. He’s failing on the economic front in having given up on trying to rationalize the markets there, but as far as the commands in the Holy Ko-Ran, he understands and has it in him to let nature take its course, people must be allowed to defend themselves, them being Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, even Christians.
Soundaryambha says
Not at all. Modi has only been telling ” terrorism has no religion”.
Soundaryambha says
//You are also pretty unaware of one fact about Bengalis – at least older ones: they don’t like the fact that Bengal was ever partitioned, and there are those who have wet dreams about a West Bengal re-united w/ Bangladesh: I suspect Mumtaz is among those//
Quite true. This applies to most Bengalis. Not just Mamata.
For instance when bangladeshis were banned from entering Kuwait it is certain bengali seculars ( hindus) who helped jihadis of bangladesh procure fake Indian passports to enter Kuwait.
Similarly Indian Punjabis have a soft corner for Pakistanis.
Keralites are highly clannish.
Infidel says
I dunno about ‘most’: the millennial Bengalis I saw tend to increasingly speak both Hindi and Bengali, as opposed to just Bengali as their parents used to when I lived there in the 80s. They tend to think of themselves more as Indians or Hindus rather than Bengalis, which was not true about my parents nor my peers. Essentially, that divide is a generation gap
In fact, I recall seeing articles online by Bengali columnists lamenting the fact that most of them do not speak Bengali amongst themselves, only w/ strangers. Given the role of their literature as being a major vector for woke thought (Bengal was woke 100 years before our current woke generation here in the US), the drop in popularity of the language is a good thing. Those who don’t like it and wish for a united Bengal can move to Bangladesh
The best evidence of the shift is the leaders that the BJP has assigned to campaign in the state: Amit Shah, Yogi, Nadda and so on. Even 5 years ago, they wouldn’t have dreamt of sending them in, as they were seen by most in the state as ‘communal’. It was only after Hindus started feeling the effects of being outnumbered by muslims in several districts and being discriminated against by the government that they started turning to the BJP, and for the first time, Jai Shri Ram is a slogan in Left Bengal as well. I think next month will be a watershed in that state’s politics

Bangladesh: Muslims attack Hindu temples, train, government offices, stone police in rage over Modi visit
……………
Horrifying but no surprise. And Muslims are enraged at his offering Bangladeshi–and Pakistani, and Afghan–Hindus, Sikhs, and Christians asylum in India. This is just more proof at how much this is needed.
Infidel says
The thing about his visit is that he visited 2 major Hindu temples in Bangladesh on this visit, and worshiped there. That gesture was really touching to Bangladeshi Hindus, who’ve been all praise for him for doing just that, even if not saying a thing about their persecution by muslims. The mohammedans are outraged at Hindus getting these feel-good vibes
There are those who accuse him of politically exploiting this to benefit his party in the elections next door in Left Bengal, happening right now and over April, as we speak. Only problem: there’s no way Modi could have made this the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh’s independence, which was the pretext of this visit and well planned in advance, and as far as the elections go, those dates get announced by India’s election commission, which is an autonomous body
gravenimage says
Glad to hear about Modi’s visits to Hindu temples in Bangladesh, Infidel.
Soundaryambha says
It is only Infidel I address as he/she is a Hindu.
Whereas you live in America & have no idea about the chicanery of missionary mafia
in India.
It is the catholics who own maximum LAND with its resources in India. Followed by other denominations. Entire North East is under their monopoly. The christians erect churches all over. Even if they remain vacant don’t care. Their motive is land grabbing.
India has long ceased to belong to Hindus proper. It is divided among christians , muslims & leftists. Hindus are the truly endangered minorities.
Hindus living in Gulf countries are much safer. There is no vote bank politics. Hence no ”appeeeejment” like indian politicians.
Infidel says
I do agree that the Indian government should have nothing to do w/ Hindu temples, and that they should be as autonomous as gurudwaras and churches. They should also have schools and colleges affiliated w/ them, which teach the sciences and arts, but as far as religion goes, teaches Hindu scriptures. Hopefully Sanskrit too, since Hindi is unacceptable to several states as a national language
gravenimage says
How often have we seen this before–the idea that peaceful Christians are “the mafia”, so often said by people who have no problem with violent Muslims.
Soundaryambha says
//..he visited 2 major Hindu temples in Bangladesh on this visit, and worshiped there//
Hindus get conned by such tokenism.
On the one hand Modi instigates Yogi Adityanath to condemn slaughter of Cows & Calves and their smuggling to bangladesh. BSF comes under Central Government. And has done nothing to stop it. To harvest gullible Hindus’ votes Modi screams ”jaishreeram” now & then. When Modi promises scholarships for bangladeshis it is obvious lot of BEEF would be served for them by appeaser Modi .
In Kerala Modi’s bjp has allied with christians . Who devour BEEF.
Modi has not taken any action against owaisi another jihadi who has been massacring Hindus in Telengana.
It is bangladesh that is guilty of sending all illegals into India. Modi is all praise for sheikh hasina . But blames Mamata Banerjee instead. This influx of illegal bangladeshi parasites was facilitated by jyoti basu & fakhruddin ali ahmed ( who was the Governor of West Bengal later becoming Vice President) Bjp had no qualms allying with communist jyoti basu .
It is time Hindus wake up & see through discrepancies in Modi.
Hindus do NOT want these politicians to enter into Temples . Period. I am talking about India. Modi included all have been plundering wealth of Temples leaving mosques , churches , gurudwaras untouched. This is called ‘secularism’ in India. In addition it is only Temples that are coerced into paying taxes , electricity bills & so on. In India nuns & christian padres are exempt from paying tax as they claim they are ”wedded to poverty”.
gravenimage says
The idea that politicians–including anti-Jihad politicians–should be prevented fron entering Hindu Temples is very disturbing.
And you seem to hate peaceful Christians–a tiny minority in India of 2%–as much as violent Muslims–very odd stuff.
Infidel says
Bangladesh is not so much ‘sending’ infiltrators per se: they’re just happy that their own citizens, who can’t stop breeding, are leaving their country in droves. But the BJP is right to blame Mumtaz: it’s she who’s made a major issue about the NCR b’cos she wants those votes
You are also pretty unaware of one fact about Bengalis – at least older ones: they don’t like the fact that Bengal was ever partitioned, and there are those who have wet dreams about a West Bengal re-united w/ Bangladesh: I suspect Mumtaz is among those. Which is why it makes sense for the BJP to play carefully until they win the elections. Once they do, they should implement NCR in West Bengal and everywhere else in India, and deport all Bangladeshi muslims. Hopefully, by the time they’re done, those Gen X and earlier Bengalis who pine for a re-united Bangladesh would be sleeping w/ the fishes
Rob says
Strange. Bangladesh was born out of Indian action to stop the atrocities of the West Pakistanis. There were so many Muslims entering India from East Pakistan that India had to act. Mountbatten and Nehru knew the Muslims didn’t have the nous to form a state, let alone one with two wings. But, Muhammad Ali Jinnah the Muslim leader insisted.

True–but Muslim Bangadeshis are not going to care about india having supported their independence and having prevented their genocide at the hands of ther their coreligionists. In the end Indians are just more ‘filthy Infidels’.

Hindus have been nearly wiped out in the ISLAMIC Rep of Pakistan and Bangladesh; just like other non-muslims suffer persecution on a daily basis in most of the other 56 Islamic countries! In the meantime ‘liberal’ Muslims in the West are pushing their false ‘Islamophobia’ narrative down our throats!

These reports from the story above are from Reuters–a venearble, respected news source.
There have also been reports from US News, India Today, The New York Times, Times of India, and many others.
And lest Abrar here dismisses all of these as news outlets of the ‘filthy Infidels’, here is Al Jazeera:
“Violent protests spread in Bangladesh after Modi visit”
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/28/violent-protests-spread-in-bangladesh-after-modi-visit
They also have these stories:
“‘Five killed, dozens wounded’ in anti-Modi protests in Bangladesh”
“Bangladesh deploys border guards after deadly anti-Modi protests”
There are also videos of the violence all over the web.
So this from Abrar is not just Taqiyya, but particularly inept Taqiyya.
