Thousands of people gathered outside the Bangladesh High Commission to protest against atrocities against Hindus; VHP holds nationwide demonstrations.

Thousands of people have gathered near the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri, Delhi, to protest the ongoing atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh and are attempting to reach the High Commission. Hundreds of Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed in view of this protest organized by the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP). All the protesters have been stopped a few hundred meters before the High Commission.

There is widespread outrage across the world over the ongoing atrocities against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. Not only Hindus, but also Christians and Sikhs are being subjected to inhumane and violent treatment. The incident of a Hindu youth being beaten to death by a mob, his body then hung from a tree and set on fire, has shocked the entire world.

Similarly, incidents of mobs setting houses on fire, resulting in people being burned to death, are common. This has caused outrage and concern among Hindus worldwide. In this context, people have taken to the streets across India, including Delhi, to protest today.

In Delhi, a large number of sadhus, saints, and members of Hindu organizations, along with ordinary citizens, are expressing their anger near the Bangladesh High Commission in Chanakyapuri and demanding strong action from the Indian government. People from Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Haryana, and other states are participating in the protest.

They are all trying to reach the Bangladesh High Commission, but the police have erected barricades and stopped them a short distance away. Loud slogans are being chanted, and anger is being expressed. Meanwhile, security around the Bangladesh High Commission has been increased.

Radhe Krishna Marg in Chanakyapuri has been completely closed, and security forces have been deployed in multiple layers. A VHP official, Subodh Rawat, said that a jihadist mentality prevails in Bangladesh, where people want to eliminate others based on religion.

The persecution of women continues there. Hindus are not only being beaten to death by mobs, but their bodies are also being hung from trees and set on fire by thousands of people. There are indications that the Bangladeshi government is complicit in this brutality.
