At the end of the day, it is the duty of home ministry to protect EVERY citizen of this country. We have watched anxiously the situation in Myanmar for a while where our foreign ministry did little to settle the humanitarian crisis inside our neighboring country (By diplomatic means!). Now like a very predictable pattern, I see an eagerness among lawmakers and leaders to blame political opponents for the carnage. WHY???
The people of this country overwhelmingly elected THIS government to RUN the country. NOT to abuse every national issues into political witch hunts. As per detailed report by leading news papers, this was a planned attack. It was not the case of angry mob getting emotional BUT this carnage was planned well in advance. If this becomes a act to attack political opponents again, it will be very sad for the nation. As majority non-political population, we don't want to watch our neighbors lives ruined like this. As a Muslim, I am more saddened to watch this. As per Islam, we are to offer our non-Muslim population security but here we failed.
Now some of the very disturbing reports came our indicating the law and order installations were not quick to respond to the attacks. Current administration cannot avoid this responsibility. They have conveniently waited for an election year to bring charges against BNP leaders for the carnage taken place during 2001.
If future events indicate that, our minority population is abused by our own leaders to get to power that will be very sad. I am sure all the sacrificed made by our brave freedom fighters and Bangabandhu had a very different goal.
My request to our leaders to remember that, you are leaders of all Bangladeshis now. Your political identity can wait till the election time. Please do everything in your power the punish the real culprits behind this to ensure no one dares to attack innocent people our places of worship this way again. Today this happened to Buddhist temples and houses, tomorrow it may be another masjid (Like it is happening in Myanmar). We cannot effort to allow cycle of violence to grow in our country. At the end of the day, it BAL leaders can tackle this properly, it will help them during election time as well.
My two cents...
Shalom!

Re: [mukto-mona] Fw: Bangladesh: R&AW engineered attacks on the Buddhists
I hope our highly educated members of this forum will set aside our political affiliations for a while and treat this as a "NATIONAL ISSUE". Personally I have heard all sorts of theories from blaming BAL, BNP, India (RAW), ISI (Pakistan), Rohingas and Sajeda Chowdhury of Awami League even blamed Germans (And other European NGOs).
-----Original Message-----
"Special units of R&AW informed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina earlier that operation tango will help to get the sympathy of minorities."
Really? Do you think Awami League did not enjoy that sympathy before this carnages?
Awami League already enjoys minority support; they do not need such carnage to get it. But, BNP has all the reasons to create insecurity in minority communities to show that Awami League is unable to protect them. What Awami League needs is more support from the majority. I do not think by attacking minorities Awami League will achieve that goal. If anything, this "tango" operation has decreased minority sympathy to Awami League, which will diminish enthusiasm of minorities, and decrease their turn out in the next election. The beneficiary will be BNP. So, all arrows point to BNP, not Awami league, in my judgment .

Readers:
News published in Daily Amardesh corroborates the statement of Mr. William Gomes. Please go to the following link and read.
According to different news reports mob had torched and vandalized the Buddhist village in one of the worst religious attacks in Bangladesh which appeared to have been triggered by a Facebook posting allegedly defaming the Quran.
According to bdnews24, on 30th September 2012, seven Buddhist Viharas, around 30 houses and shops were torched in the attacks that started at 11:30pm and lasted until around 4am on 1st of October. More than a hundred houses and shops were also reportedly attacked, vandalized and looted
My sources inside Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) shared sensational inside story and background of the per-planned attack on the Buddhists in Cox's Bazaar's Ramu Upazila
The whole attack was engineered by special unit of Indian Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) in coordination with DGFI
A special team of monitoring the social media in the DGFI and R&AW were closely monitoring the social media to monitor the ongoing protest on anti Islam film in different parts of Bangladesh on social media
The government was facing challenge to tackle the protest on anti Islam movie in different parts of the country
The social media monitor team within the intelligence agency noticed that different people were tagged different photos related anti Islam movie and defaming Holy Quran , Uttam Barua was tagged in the photo from a Facebook ID called 'Insult Allah'
The special units of R&AW consult with concern people in prime minister's office ask to run special operation named "Operation Tango"
The main aim of operation tango was to spread the violence in hill district, specifically on the Buddhist and Hindu minorities
Selected officials were called immediately from different detachments of DGFI that includes Coxs' Bazar, Khagrachari, Rangamati, Bandarban and Chittagong
They were briefed, how to implement the operation tango. They special team of army commando were send to vandalized a village of Buddhists in Cox's Bazaar's Ramu Upazila early on 30th September 2012
Cox's Bazaar district's Superintendent of Police Selim Mohammed Jahangir was informed earlier by the tango team to remain silent while tango team run the operation and police were on high alert that tango team can successfully end the operation
Special units of R&AW informed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina earlier that operation tango will help to get the sympathy of minorities
They also briefed that minorities are your vote bank , before election this attack will benefit you in all ways
They also briefed BNP had embraced the government over Rohingya Muslims issue and it's a proper time to use the situation while the opposition is protesting over anti islam movie
The tango team had suggested spreading attacks on minorities in different minority populated areas all over the country and that will continue one after another
A team of media professionals were briefed earlier to run continuous news propaganda naming the violence as an effort to Islamize the hill area and the opposition parties specifically BNP is behind the communal attack
While the ruling government is playing dirty game on the life of minorities with the Indian intelligence R&AW , minorities are paying a high cost
