The Vishva Hindu Parishad has announced a two-day nationwide protest against the “atrocities” on religious minorities in Bangladesh starting Friday.
The VHP and the Bajrang Dal, along with all sects and segments of the Hindu society and those who believe in humanity, will take part in this protest to save the minorities and their human rights, VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal said in a statement.
Bansal said the neighbouring country was “playing in the hands of Islamic jihadist elements”.
He said the protest against the “repeated atrocities” against minorities in Bangladesh is scheduled for today and tomorrow, he said.
“Let’s all come and join for Human cause!!VHP nationwide protest to save minorities in Bangladesh today,” Bansal wrote in a post on X.
Bangladesh’s minority Hindus, which constitute only about 8 per cent of the 170 million population, have faced over 200 attacks in 50-odd districts since the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government on August 5.
