UNB, Brahmanbaria :
Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) will not provide any legal aid to those involved in recent attacks on the Hindu community in Nasirnagar upazila.
An SCBA delegation made the announcement while visiting damaged Goura Mandir in Haripur union of the upazila on Friday. The 130-member SCBA delegation, led by its president Yusuf Hossain Humayun, visited the damaged houses and temples of the Hindu community.
They demanded exemplary punishment of the perpetrators and assured the victims of providing legal support.
On October 30, an unruly mob equipped with sharp weapons went berserk and demolished a number of Hindu temples and nearly 100 houses in the upazila following a rumour of a Facebook post demeaning the holy Kaaba.
In a fresh attack November 4, miscreants also set fire to at least six houses of Hindus in the upazila amid alertness of law enforcement agencies and local administration.
