HUNDREDS OF LOOTED WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF JIHADISTS IN B'DESH
The Daily Guardian|December 02, 2024
On March 25, 1971, Pakistani occupation forces launched 'Operation Searchlight', unleashing unprecedented cruelty on independence-seeking Bengalis in what was then East Pakistan. Thousands of Hindus were brutally murdered, Hindu women and girls were subjected to rape, and Hindu homes were set ablaze.

HUNDREDS OF LOOTED WEAPONS IN THE HANDS OF JIHADISTS IN B'DESH

For the Pakistani military, this massacre of unarmed civilians - primarily Hindus - was a grim celebration, as policymakers in Rawalpindi labeled the Bengali liberation movement a "Hindu uprising".

Throughout the nine-month-long war for Bangladesh's independence, Arab nations, including Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, framed the conflict as a "war between Muslims and Hindus".

Fifty-three years after gaining independence, Bangladesh finds itself under siege by Islamists, jihadists, and anti-Hindu forces. These groups are evidently supported by international actors, including notorious figures such as Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Soros, and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

This resurgence is bolstered by the influence of Nobel laureate and Trump-hater Muhammad Yunus and his allies, including the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), Hefazat-e-Islam (HeI), Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT), and Ansar Al Islam, a local affiliate of Al Qaeda and several thuggish gangs comprising Islamists and leftists.

Since the removal of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and seizure of power by Muhammad Yunus and his cronies, the country has seen an alarming rise in Islamist extremism, with jihadist flags being openly waved and radical slogans inciting violence against Hindus, members of ISKCON, and so-called "Indian agents".

A REIGN OF TERROR AGAINST HINDUS

Since late July 2024, Hindus in Bangladesh have endured horrific atrocities, including mass killings, rapes of women and girls (including minors), and widespread looting. Hindu homes, businesses, and temples have been systematically targeted in arson attacks which have been perpetrated by Islamist, jihadists and Hindu-haters.
