In a display of solidarity, multiple organizations, with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at the forefront, have staged protests across Delhi. These demonstrations were held to protest the ongoing attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, highlighting the plight of minorities in the neighboring country.
Coming just before a planned march to the Bangladesh embassy, the protests sought to rally support under the Civil Society of Delhi's banner. Representatives from over 200 social, cultural, and religious organizations were expected to participate as a united front against the 'persecution' faced by Hindus and other minority groups in Bangladesh.
The protesters submitted memoranda to district magistrates, calling for immediate action to curb violence against minorities in Bangladesh. Their demands included securing the release of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and mobilizing international efforts to hold accountable those responsible for the violence.
