Hi all,

 

I have just come from Nawbabganj Upazilla within Dhaka District 150 kilometers from Dhaka town. One hundred Hindu families( including women children) had to approach the O.C and Upazilla Nirbahi Officer of Nowbabganj with banner that they had been tortured and oppressed by some BNP ruling terrorists.

More than 3,00,000. zizia tax were claimed and ultimately those toll collection from the Hindu families are continuing. The O.C. Nawbabganj snatched away their banner and did not return it back. O.C. also threatened them to file case against those families. I went to O.C. and other law enforcing agencies, talked with the victims.

More than 300 Hindu victims complained that they want to leave the country due to torture and repression. I have managed to file a case against the terrorists in the police station. A sensational news has been published in different news papers on this issue.

 

I am submitting the detailed report on this.

 

Thanks,
