Sources said the district unit BNP distributed dhuti, panjabi and sindoor boxes among some 4,000 Hindus
The
Hindus of Borobari and Panchagram unions under Lalmonirhat district
were reportedly asked to join Khaleda Zia’s Rangpur rally wearing
traditional attires.
Sources
said the district unit BNP distributed dhuti, panjabi and sindoor (red
lead) boxes among some 4,000 Hindus of several villages in the union.
However, Rangpur district unit BNP General Secretary Hafizur Rahman denied the allegations.
The
issue was also discussed at the district’s law and order meeting on
September 12 following allegations of Hindu communities. The authorities
then directed the law enforcers to take necessary steps in this regard.
The
Hindus were asked to stay ready wearing the religious attires, and that
designated buses would take them to the rally venue. They were
allegedly threatened of actions if they had not attended the rally.
