"The Bengali-language newspaper, the Sangbad, said about 500 Moslems hurled stones at Hindu-owned shops on Friday in Khulna, 85 miles southwest of Dhaka. It said at least 50 people were injured. The protestors from a fundamentalist group called Council of Priests also attacked the offices of the secular Awami League Party after a rally in the town park, the independent daily said. Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan protested to India after a Hindu group laid the foundation stone Nov. 9 for the temple of god Ram at Ayodhya. The group has agreed to postpone the construction until next year. On Nov. 11, Moslem mobs angry over the planned temple damaged three Hindu temples and burned at least 25 Hindu shops in Narsinghdi in eastern Bangladesh."
