Shia Muslim community across Bangladesh are suffering from a great sense of insecurity

Members of the minority Shia Muslim community across Bangladesh are suffering from a great sense of insecurity following the attacks on Hussaini Dalan in the capital and Shia Mosque in Bogra.

Most of the people in the community now do not stay out of their homes unless it is something very important.

The Shia community people are planning to submit a memorandum to the Prime Minister and Home Minister to ensure their security.

When asked about the security of the Shia community Monirul Islam, joint commissioner of the Detective Branch (DB) of police, said law enforcers had already been deployed around the Shia mosques.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said special instruction had already been given to law enforcers to provide security to Shia community.
