Bangladesh: Islamists Attack Baul Supporters Amid Minority Violence

In Bangladesh, a group called Towhidi Janata, which is part of a bigger Islamist group, has been attacking people who support Baul performers.

Baul supporters were protesting because some of their performers were attacked, and they also want a leader named Abul Sarkar to be released from jail.

The Islamist group says they are protecting their religion.

The government has told the police to arrest the people who did the attacks.

This is happening because there has been a lot of violence against minorities, like Hindus, in Bangladesh recently.

The Islamist group has also been involved in other violent acts, like destroying statues and disrupting Hindu festivals.
