Stalls displaying Bangladeshi goods were taken down at a global expo when Bajrang Dal members demanded their removal. The group cited atrocities against Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh as the reason for their protest.
Bajrang Dal representatives engaged with event organizers and insisted that all references to 'Bangladesh' be eliminated from promotional materials. Additionally, they sought the removal of the word from the Bangladesh visa center's signboard.
In response to these tensions, authorities deployed extra police forces at the event venue and around the visa office to ensure security and deter potential incidents. Officials report that the situation is currently stable with continuous monitoring in place.
