Dhaka,
Sept 30 (bdnews24.com)—LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Syed Ashraful
Islam on Sunday condemned the incident of torching, looting and attacks
on a pre-dominantly Buddhist village in Cox's Bazaar's Ramu Upazila.
The ruling party General Secretary also alleged the attacks were being made to save the suspected war criminals.
He called upon the people of the country to stay alert against such moves.
In
a statement issued on Sunday, he said:" The attacks on religious
minorities at several areas including Chittagong, Dinajpur, Chiribondor,
Chittagong's Patia are
being carried out to destabilise the existing political and social
condition and end communal harmony among the people of the country." "We have made a promise to maintain communal harmony at any cost," he added.
He also urged the law enforcing authority to take legal action against those involved in the attack. At
least seven Buddhist temples and nearly 30 homes and shops were looted,
ransacked and burned during the night-long mayhem by religious fanatics
at Ramu Upazila.
Religious fanatics also launched attacks on Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries in Patia at noon, hours after rampaging through the Buddhist village in Cox's Bazaar's Ramu Upazila. Later, around 7pm, unidentified miscreants again set a temple at Ukhia upazila on fire.
