• REQUEST FOR RECOVERY OF THE HOLY LAND OF KANTO JEW TEMPLE (DEBOTTOR PROPERTY) IN DINAJPUR, BANGLADESH

• AN EARNEST REQUEST FOR RECOVERY OF THE HOLY LAND OF KANTO JEW TEMPLE (DEBOTTOR PROPERTY)

The Kanto Jew Mondir is an ancient Temple of Dinajpur District of Bangladesh. It is situated at Makrai Village of Upazila Birgonj. The Temple is more than 300 hundred years old founded & built by The Moharajas (Kings) of Dinajpur. This is not only the icon of Bangadeshi Culture but also a World heritage declared by UNESCO. Adjacent The Temple there is a large piece of land measuring 33 decimals which is a divine property (Debottor Property) for use of The Temple donated by The Moharajas of Dinajpur.

The 33 decimal of holy lands beside the temple is already captured by a gang of muslim land grabbers and a signboard is hanged bearing the name “SANTIBAGH AL-HERA NOORANI TALIMUL QURAN MADRASA” on the spot and already establishing there Noorani Talimul Quran Madrasha activities since 2010 to till. The said Madrasa Authority declares that they have bought this land from a person who has taken this land as lease from the Govt of Peoples republic of Bnagladesh. On demand they could not produce or present any document in favor of their argument. As this piece of land is a divine Temple property (Debottor Property) which can’t be either taken or sold or used of lease for use as a personal property according to the on-going laws of the Bangladesh constitution.

This clearly indicates that a gang of people is deliberately doing it to hurt the religious feeling of the Sanatan (Hindu) community. This will ultimately lead towards communal violence and abolish the identity of this holy land along with this above 200 years old Hindu heritage of Kanti Jew Temple.

We draw the attention of the concerned authority and conscientious persons and personnel to take initiative to recover this holy land immediately.

We strongly protest the unlawful activities in this county in order to maintain the communal peace and harmony.
