Hindu protesters demonstrating outside the Bangladesh High Commission in London against the lynchings of Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mondal in Bangladesh were disrupted by a handful of Khalistani miscreants who showed up in support of Bangladesh. Indian and Bangladeshi Hindus had gathered on Saturday to voice their anguish over escalating violence against minorities when the intervention occurred.
Inside Bangladesh, trapped and persecuted Hindus are sending an SOS to India to open borders, as fears intensify following the return of hardliner BNP leader Tarique Rahman, whose arrival drew massive support. Hindus from Rangpur, Chittagong, Dhaka, and Mymensingh, speaking through exiled Sanatan Jagran Macha leader Nihar Haldar, described living their worst nightmare, with many calling for border access as an escape route from Islamist mob fury.
Dr Subodh Biswas, president of Nikhil Bangla Samanbay Samiti, representing former East Pakistan refugees in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, criticized Hindu organizations for offering only lip service. He stated that with 2.5 crore Hindus in Bangladesh facing what activists call a potential holocaust, India remains the only refuge, but borders remain shut. Protests are planned at the border to pressure the government.
India’s MEA condemned the recent killing of a Hindu youth in Mymensingh and slammed Dhaka for unremitting hostility against minorities, including Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists, at the hands of extremists. The MEA stressed that perpetrators must be brought to justice and called the situation a matter of grave concern.
