then Prime Minister Sheikh

Since, the ouster of the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government from power on August 5, 2024, Bangladesh is witnessing a deluge of attacks on various minority communities and Sufi shrines. On September 6, 2024, an unruly crowd comprising students, hardliners and local mosques’ Imams and their supporters stormed the premises of the Hazrat Shah Poran Shrine in Sylhet District after Friday prayers. Following the incident, a well-known Jamaat-e-Islami Facebook ID “Basharkella” welcomed the protest and called for more attacks and protests against Sufi shrines and Khanqah (Sufi places of prayers) throughout the country. ufabet
