The Vishva Hindu Parishad has launched a two-day nationwide protest in India, raising alarms over alleged abuses against religious minorities in Bangladesh. The demonstration, supported by Bajrang Dal and other Hindu groups, aims to advocate for human rights, a sentiment echoed by VHP spokesperson Vinod Bansal.

Bansal accused Bangladesh of encouraging Islamic extremist elements, a charge that comes amid growing tensions in the region. Minorities in Bangladesh, especially Hindus, have reportedly faced increased attacks following the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.

India's government has expressed its concern over recent incidents, including the arrest of Hindu leader Das. His detention without bail has led to protests in cities like Dhaka and Chattogram, calling for justice and security for minority communities.
