3 to 6 crores are to celebrate Sufi Islam
The number of people who believe in Sufi Islam is considered between 3 and 6 crores in Bangladesh. Apart from this, there are more than 12,000 shrines and about 17,000 dargahs of Pirs and Sufi spiritual masters. These tombs are spread all over the country. The Sufi community is constantly being targeted by the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Grato like Jamaat-e-Islami and Hizb opposes Sufism and now they are attacking them.
‘Open threats’
According to the TOI report, Hassan Shah Sureshwari Deepu Noori, leader of the Global Sufi Organization, said, “The radical Sufi Dargahs are threatening to eliminate the dargahs. They are saying that the dargahs have qawwali and sing and singing are anti-Islam. The Global Sufi Organization represents 5,000 dargahs and their followers.
Sufi dargahs were being targeted since Sheikh Hasina’s government fell in Bangladesh. On 6 September, Hazrat Shah Poron Dargah was targeted by a crowd of fundamentalists. The Jamaat-e-Islami then called for a protest against the Sufi Dargahs, due to which the attacks increased further.
Government is not taking any step
The Yunus government has so far made only 20 arrests in the case of attacks on Sufi Dargahs, which is not enough to stop these attacks. The Sufi community has demanded security from the government. However, the government’s response has not yet been positive about this, due to which the spirit of insecurity in the community is increasing.
