Reacting to the terrorist attack on an Eid congregation in Bangladesh on Thursday, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has said the incident gives message that only ISIS certified Muslims are true Muslims and rest are expendable.
“B’Desh has another terrorist attack now on a EID congregation. Message: Only true Muslim is an ISIS certified Muslim. Rest are expendable,” tweeted Swamy.
Radical Islamists hurled crude bombs and engaged in a shootout with police in Bangladesh that killed three people, including two policemen, and a terrorist at the country’s biggest Eid gathering nearly a week after the deadly attack on a Dhaka cafe that left 22 people dead.
Police said at least 13 other persons were injured in the blasts at Azimuddin High School gate, a kilometre away from the ground, around 9 am.
Witnesses said over 300,000 Muslims, who had gathered at Sholakia to offer the Eid prayers, were trapped in the middle of sporadic gunshots being fired between cops and the attacker militants.
Such an attack on Eid is said to be first time in Bangladesh. The blasts follow the deadliest terror attack in Bangladesh on July 1, the killing of 20 hostages, mostly foreigners, at an upscale restaurant in the heart of the capital’s diplomatic estate.
