A press conference was held by the temple committee and locals in Nesarabad, Pirojpur, accusing a local Jamaat leader of occupying temple land. The press conference took place on Tuesday afternoon at Samudaykathi bazar, demanding a neutral investigation, legal action, and security for the Hindu community. It was stated that 42 decimals of land were donated in 1962 for temple use and have been used for 64 years.
According to the allegations, local Jamaat leader Md. Shafiqul Islam Hawlader filed a lawsuit in 2016 and started forcefully cultivating paddy on the land after August 5. They also claimed that locals are being threatened for protesting, and propaganda is being spread on social media. Meanwhile, the accused could not be reached for comment, and the local union Jamaat president stated that the land issue is entirely personal.
