According to the report, Khalistani goons recorded a video of their despicable act of vandalising the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir and later shared it on the social media.

Religious minorities routinely face violence. For example, last year 154 people of religious minorities, including Hindus, were killed and 360 injured, according to the council.

Muslims make up nearly 91 percent of Bangladesh’s population of 165 million, according to the 2022 national census. Hindus constitute about 8 percent and the rest is shared by Buddhism, Christianity and others.
