Muslim majority Bangladesh has always remained hostile against Hindu minority and there have been incidents of killings, rape and blasphemy against the minorities in the country. The Bangladesh government has failed to act against the killings and desecration of holy places of Hindus in the country.

Hindus in Bangladesh have appealed to the government to deploy army at their places of worship as the police were not able to control the rioting Islamists.
