  Swetpatra: Bangladeshe maulabadi sampradayika santraser 2000 din (English: Swetpatra: 2000 days of radical communal terrorism in Bangladesh) is a white paper published in February 2022 by the People's Commission to Investigate radical and communal Terrorism in Bangladesh. To investigate the communal attacks and religious frenzy that took place in Bangladesh in February–March 2021, this public commission was formed by the joint initiative of the Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee and the Tribal and Minority Affairs Caucus of the Jatiya Sangsad. In this white paper, 116 speakers associated with Islamist organizations and institutions are termed as 'religion traders' by raising various charges including financing of militants, spreading hatred, money laundering, communal terrorism, irregularities, corruption, extorting money in the name of Waz, and 1,000 madrassas under Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh were accused of radicalization. The 2,200-page investigation report has also mentioned the names of various religious groups including Hefazat and administrative officials including DC, OC who helped them and encouraged communal violence. The recommendation of the Swetpatra emphasized on filing a case against them. After the Swetpatra was submitted to the Anti-Corruption Commission and the National Human Rights Commission on May 12, 2022, there was extensive discussion about it. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said that the People's Commission has no basis. The day the Swetpatra was submitted, Islamic parties and organizations protested against it.

  ## Reactions
  
  When discussions started on the Swetpatra after it was submitted to the Anti-Corruption Commission and the National Human Rights Commission, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan pointed out that the commission had no basis. He further said, "I don't even know on the basis of which information this Swetpatra has been prepared. Those in whose name they are responsible for terrorism or corruption—we didn't see that. So I can't say anything about it. We don't take into account allegations that have no evidence."
  
  In response to various criticisms, the People's Commission said that the Swetpatra was never anti-Islamic. A 11-member delegation of Islami Cultural Forum Bangladesh against the People's Commission submitted a memorandum to the Anti-Corruption Commission seeking income-expenditure accounts of the leaders of the People's Commission, sources of their funds and assets of the committee leaders.
