In the recent spread of hatred, a video of a man said to be Jamaat-e-Islami linked Maulana Imran Hussain Sirajiis is going viral on X and other social media platforms. In the viral video, Hussain is seen spewing venom against the Hindu community living in Bangladesh. He can be heard inciting the public against the Hindu community ranting that they should not let Hindus stay even on a single inch of land in Bangladesh.
He could be heard saying, “Not a single Hindu will be allowed to live within the 56,000 square miles of Bangladesh.”
While few words are incomprehensible, he could be heard clearly making an anti-India remark saying, “This is not Gujrat of India, This is not Sikkim, this is not Kashmir, this is not Hyderabad. This is the birthplace of Muslims. Yes or No? Not a single Hindu will be allowed to live within the 56,000 square miles of Bangladesh.”
