Some of the Ahmadiyya families who came under attack in Panchagarh on Friday lost “everything” – from their homes to valuables to garments. “They looted rice, paddy, garments and gold ornaments before we could apprehend anything. We fled to save our lives,” said Altaf Hossain, a resident of Ahmadiyya-inhabited Shalshiri on the outskirts of the town. The situation is almost the same in all the houses,” said Mahmud Ahmed Sumon as things improved on Saturday, a day after the incident. After staging a blockade on Thursday night, angry Muslims protesting against an Ahmadiyya event demonstrated in the town after Jum’ah prayers on Friday.
