Dhaka, Oct 17 (UNI) Protest demonstrations denouncing the communal attacks on Hindu temples, idols and properties during the Durga Puja celebrations were held across Bangladesh on Saturday, even as fresh incidents of attacks on members of the minority Hindu community and their property were reported in Feni, in southeastern Bangladesh.
People, including members of the Hindu community, demonstrated in different parts of Bangladesh, demanding immediate arrest of those behind vandalising Durga Puja mandaps, and Hindu temples and homes and properties. The protesters observed a half-day sit-in in Chattogram and defied section 144 – a ban on gatherings -- in Noakhali.
Different political and social organisations also joined the chorus in seeking justice for the victims.
