\"Home.jpg\"<\/a>Interestingly the background of the situation in Bengal got coverage on Fox News with the serious comment that had not happened in any of the Indian media. This is what Phyllis Chesler<\/a> says in the article that is relevant to the Deganga situation:<\/p>\n

According to Ghosh, there has recently been a sharp increase in incidents of \u201cMuslim rioting during Hindu festivals, destruction of Temples, desecration of Deities, and large-scale, provocative cow slaughter.\u201d Worse: \u201cHundreds, thousands, of Hindu girls have been kidnapped, trafficked into sexual slavery, or taken as second or third wives for wealthy Muslim men. In recent years, Ghosh\u2019s organization has rescued nearly 100 such girls, and one of his main missions has been to help reintegrate those survivors into their families and societies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For more updates on the situation here are the latest updates from Tapan Ghosh\u2019s Hindu Samhati reporters.<\/p>\n
