We utterly condemn this mindless and repugnant act of vandalism. As reported here: Mihir Das, joint general secretary of Gosaildanga Shwashan Kalibari Temple Committee, told bdnews24.com, "Five to six drunken youths led by gangster Masud of the neighbouring area vandalised the temple."
The police must thoroughly investigate the incident to determine whether this is an act by some drunken individuals or whether these reported thugs have been used by some others with ulterior motives, and bring the culprits to justice.
We strongly condemn Islamophobia and likewise we strongly condemn Hindu-phobia or any other religion phobia, in all its forms and manifestations.
