Bangladesh Communal Violence: Minister of Home Affairs of Bangladesh Asaduzzaman Khan said the attacks were aimed at destroying the communal harmony in Bangladesh.
Minister of Home Affairs of Bangladesh Asaduzzaman Khan on Sunday termed the attacks on Durga Puja pavilions as 'pre-planned' and said these attacks were aimed at destroying the communal harmony in Bangladesh.
This came after multiple cases have been filed against hundreds of named and unnamed people for the attacks in Comilla on Wednesday, Dhaka Tribune reported.
The alleged defamation of the Holy Quran and subsequent attacks on the Hindus in Comilla were premeditated and aimed at destroying the communal harmony in Bangladesh, the Home Minister said.
"It appears to us that it was a motivated act instigated by a vested group," he added.
