Islam is the state religion of Bangladesh where the Jihadi outfits frequently challenged its Govt and free and democratic society for the establishment of Sharia rule there.

Many bloggers, free thinkers, atheists, human rights activists, NGO workers, non-Muslim religious preachers were hacked to death in the recent years in the hands of Jihadi outfits.

ISIS inclined Jihadi outfit attacked Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka on July 1st, 2016, Friday where 20 persons were killed including nine Italians, seven Japanese, one US citizen and a lone Indian. Here, victims had been “brutally” attacked with sharp weapons in a very ISIS style.

The so called secular govt in Bangladesh run by the coalition led by Awami League is apparently failed to check these Hindu persecution in Bangladesh in the current year, in spite of  meeting of the  Prime ministers of two neighbouring countries (PM Narendra Modi of India and PM Sheikh Hasina of BD) on June, 2016  in Dhaka where they vowed to ensure the safety, security and rights of the minority people in the respective countries.
