Ahmadiyya Muslim community chief Mobasherur Rahman has questioned the government sincerity in ensuring their security and said the attacks are unabated.
He said at a media conference that the authorities do not act as fast when the Ahmadiyyas come under attack as they do in case of attacks on other religious minorities like the Hindus or the Buddhists.
“Why is this discrimination?” he asked, speaking at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat office at Bakshibazar in Dhaka on Friday.
Mobasherur came up with data on attacks on the members of the community in Rangpur, Bogra, Dinajpur and other parts of Bangladesh.
The latest victim of such attacks is Mostafizur Rahman, the imam of an Ahmadiyya mosque in Mymensingh’s Ishwarganj.
He was wounded in the hacking attack. Locals caught a suspect and handed him to police after beating him.
The attacker, identified as Abdul Ahad, a madrasa student from the same Upazila, told reporters that two other students of the madrasa also took part in the attack. Their target was to kill the imam, he said.
Mobasherur alleged, “Less government action is seen when Ahmadiyyas come under attack, though they are also Muslims.”
In December, 2015, a suicide bomber blew himself up in an attack on an Ahmadiyya mosque in Rajshahi’s Bagmara Upazila during the Juma prayers, leaving 10 people injured.
Many attacks on the community were reported during the BNP-Jamaat-e-Islami government.
Qawmi madrasa-based group Hifazat-e Islam demanded in 2013 that the government declare Ahmadiyyas non-Muslims.
Mobasherur criticised the ruling Awami League for bowing down to Hifazat demands. The government has recognised top Qawmi degree and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina approved of Hifazat demand for removing a statue from the Supreme Court premises.
The Ahmadiyya chief said Bangladesh’s Constitution is ‘much better’ than other countries when it comes to religious freedom.
“We want the Constitution to be followed. We will be happy if only our constitutional right is ensured. We are the citizens of this country. We want citizens’ rights to be established,” he said.

Moulvies have made some Muslims vulnerable against ahmadies . They declared ahmadies , murteed and provoke emotional Muslims that murder of a ahmadi means heaven . In fact , they have made the Muslims a vulnerable community . There is a psychology , too . It can not be denied that Muslims as a community , is far behind others , whether it is education or wealth or positive contributions to the society . They have made themselves deprived of the worldly heaven . Lust of hoor and wine of jannat is the motivating factor behind all such heinous crimes . Unfortunately Muslim intellectuals , press& media and leaders are not vocal against this ideology . Unless this ideology is not changed , it is difficult to change the general Muslim attitude . They have become immune to the suffering Muslims are experiencing . I don’t find any Muslim country which has not become beggar , whether it is technology or quality education or medical facilities or arms & weapons etc. Even those countries which have abundant wealth , are dependent on this non- Muslim country or that . No Muslim leader or intellectual has vision of accepting the truth . Muslims as a community , are becoming untouchables and no one bothers . Indifference of Muslim intellectuals is responsible for the miserable condition of Muslims . They must stand up against that ideology which not only opens the door for violence and anarchy but also increasing the misery of Muslims . As far as ahmadies are concerned , they are convinced that such heinous crimes can not stop them , love is bound to win , that love which we have learnt from Huzoor SAW . Such barbaric crimes give us only one messages that is ” they make you Hussain and themselves behave like yazeed … ” and it is true that this is very cheap deal .But we warn that don’t forget the end of yazeedi like people . There is a Allah Who is mighty.
