Hindu groups organized rallies in Jaipur, Nagaur, and Chittorgarh on Wednesday to protest violence against Hindus in Bangladesh following the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In Jaipur, the 'Sarv Hindu Samaj' called for a market shutdown that saw mixed reactions, with some areas remaining closed until the afternoon. Hindu traders, transporters, and industrialists gathered at the Sanganer Stadium, held a demonstration, and marched to the sub-divisional magistrate's office to submit a memorandum.

Protestors chanted slogans against Rohingya refugees and condemned the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Similar rallies took place in Nagaur and Chittorgarh, where leaders addressed the crowd, expressing solidarity with the violence-affected Hindu community in Bangladesh.
