Home Minister Muhiuddin Khan Alamgir yesterday said the state will make
its highest effort to punish the attackers of religious minorities.
He was addressing a meeting at Banshkhali Upazila Parishad ground after visiting different areas affected by Jamaat-Shibir violence on February 28.
It was his first visit to an affected area after the Jamaat-Shibir men had unleashed mayhem across the country on that day, hours after the International Crimes Tribunal-1 awarded death penalty to Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee for committing crimes against humanity during the Liberation War.
“Those who attacked the religious minorities and torched their houses and temples are anti-liberation forces. They [attackers] are against our country and Liberation War and Bangladesh has no place for them,” said MK Alamgir.
He pledged to confront with iron hands those who are trying to foil the war crimes trial and attacked the religious minorities.
The minister visited the affected Hindu families, temples, UNO office, upazila parishad office and court building under Banshkhali Municipality.
He distributed Tk 10,000 among each of seven Hindu families whose houses were burned down in the attack.
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal lawmaker Mainuddin Khan Badal, Awami League lawmakers MA Latif, Cheman Ara Tayab, Inspector General of Police Hasan Mahmud Khandaker, Director General of Rapid Action Battalion Mokhlesur Rahman and Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Abdul Mannan were present, among others.
On February 28, activists of Jamaat-e-Islami and its student front Islami Chhatra Shibir vandalised and torched the courts of senior judicial magistrate and senior assistant judge, Upazila Parishad office, upazila krishi office, office of upazila fisheries officer and office of upazila nirbahi officer (UNO).
