The Indian government has called upon the government of Bangladesh to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all minorities and their places of worship, especially during this auspicious festival time.
"We have noted with serious concern the attack on a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka and the theft at the revered Jeshoreshwari Kali temple at Satkhira," said the Indian Ministry of External Affairs on Saturday.
These are deplorable events, said the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in a satement on attack on Puja Mandap, desecration and damage to Hindu temples in Bangladesh.
"They follow a systematic pattern of desecration and damage to temples and deities that we have witnessed over several days now," MEA said.
Earlier on 11 October, the Indian High Commission in Dhaka has expressed its concern over the theft of a gold crown, which was gifted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the idol at the Jessoreswari Kali Temple in Shyamnagar, Satkhira.
