Durga Puja Mandap Invites Muslims For Cultural Performance In Bangladesh

On Thursday evening, a group of Muslim men spoiled the sanctity of a Durga Puja mandap in Chittagong city of Bangladesh by forcibly singing Islamic songs. The radicals took to the stage of the JM Sen Hall Puja Mandap and sang the Islamic song ‘Shudhu Musolmaner Lagi Aseniko Islam (Islam did not come to light only for Muslims).’

The Muslim men, who were involved in the dishonoring of the Puja Mandap, belonged to the Chittagong Cultural Academy. A video of the incident has now surfaced on social media. Atheist Bangladesh writer Taslima Nasreen, who is living in an asylum in India, remarked, ‘Jihadis are singing Islami jihadi songs in Durga puja pandal in Chittagong Bangladesh. What if Hindus sing hare ram hare krishna during Namaz inside mosques?’
