Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has strongly condemned the attack on the historic Shah Ali shrine in Dhaka, calling it contrary to the spirit and goals of Bangladesh’s independence and the July Movement. In a statement issued on Saturday, TIB demanded that the government take strict measures to ensure exemplary punishment for those responsible for the assault.
The organization also urged Jamaat-e-Islami and other religion-based political parties to clarify their positions on the right to practice and coexist within Bangladesh’s diverse cultural and folk traditions. TIB’s Executive Director Dr. Iftekharuzzaman described the attack as part of a broader pattern of violence and conspiracy against Bangladesh’s pluralistic and tolerant heritage, warning that such actions threaten the country’s liberal cultural identity.
TIB further emphasized that the current BNP-led government, elected with broad public support, bears responsibility for protecting the nation’s multicultural and multireligious traditions. The group called for impartial investigations into this and previous similar incidents to ensure justice and prevent future attacks.
