BGB members deployed after deadly anti-Modi protests
Published: 27 Mar 2021, 02:01

Bangladesh has deployed border guards to help maintain order, a senior officer said Saturday after deadly protests by hardline Islamists against a visit by Indian prime minister Narendra Modi rocked the Muslim majority nation.

The violence, which began Friday at the main mosque in the capital Dhaka, spread to several key districts in the South Asian nation of 168 million, leaving five people dead and scores injured.

Facebook has been restricted in the country, a company spokesman said after users complained they could not access the site since late Friday afternoon as images and reports of the violence were shared in social media.

A spokesman for the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), which also acts as a reserve paramilitary force to maintain law and order, said it had deployed troops since Friday night.

With the instructions of the home ministry and in aid of the civil administration, required number of BGB has been deployed in different districts of the country," lieutenant colonel Fayzur Rahman told AFP, without disclosing the numbers involved.
Rahman, who is the operations director of the force, said there had been no reports of violence after their deployment.
"Situation is normal," he said.
The disturbances came as Bangladesh marked 50 years of independence with rights groups calling for an end to growing authoritarianism including forced disappearances and extra-judicial killings.
Police said four bodies of members of Hefazat-e-Islam, a hardline Islamist group, were brought to Chittagong Medical College Hospital after violence erupted at Hathazari, a rural town where the group's main leaders are based.
A supporter of the group was also killed in clashes in the eastern border town of Brahmanbaria, another key bastion of Hefazat.
Strike call
A Hefazat spokesman said tens of thousands of supporters of the group demonstrated on Friday to protest against Modi's two-day tour to Bangladesh.
The group has also called nationwide demonstrations for Saturday and a strike on Sunday to protest against the police's actions and firing on "peaceful" protesters.
Hefazat is known for its nationwide network and large-scale protests demanding Bangladesh introduce blasphemy laws.
In 2013 police clashed with tens of thousands of Hefazat supporters in Dhaka, leaving nearly 50 people dead.
Hefazat aside, a diverse range of Bangladeshi groups -- including students, leftists and other Islamist outfits -- have been staging protests against Modi's visit.
They accuse Modi and his Hindu-nationalist government of stoking religious tensions and inciting anti-Muslim violence including in the Indian state of Gujarat in 2002 when 1,000 people died. Modi was Gujarat's chief minister at the time.

Hefajat threatens tougher movement if govt hinders tomorrow’s hartal

04:02 PM, March 27, 2021 / LAST MODIFIED: 04:04 PM, March 27, 2021


The Joint Secretary General of Hefajat-e-Islam Mamunul Haque today threatened tougher movement if the government tries to hinder tomorrow's nationwide hartal.

Mamunul Haque, also said that "government has stained Bangladesh's Independence Day by killing activists of the party" during yesterday's protest.

"The deaths of Hefajat activists will be avenged. Government must compensate their families as well," he said during a protest in Baitul Mukarram area today.

He urged supporters of the party to observe hartal tomorrow.

More than three thousand activists under the banner of Hefajat-e-Islam gathered near Baitul Mukarram protesting Indian Prime Minister Modi's visit to Bangladesh and yesterday's police action in Dhaka, Chattogram and Brahmanbaria.

Mamunul during the protest programme urged police to act as the protector of people instead of serving any political party.

The government has deployed Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members in Dhaka including other parts of the country to control law and order situation.

Police has ramped up security measures around the national mosque and surrounding areas centering the protest programme. Members of Rapid Action Battalion were also seen patrolling the area.
