Right-wing organisations took to the streets in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur and Bhadrak districts on Tuesday, condemning the ongoing violence against minority communities in Bangladesh.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) led a demonstration to express solidarity with Bangladeshi Hindus.
VHPs’ Jagatsinghpur district President Prafulla Sahu highlighted the “unbearable miseries” faced by the community and called for the Indian government to intervene for their protection.
“Minority Hindus are being subjected to unbearable miseries in Bangladesh. There is no one for Hindus. Our protest is in solidarity with the Hindus of Bangladesh,” Sahu said.
He said the government of India should take steps for the protection of Hindus in Bangladesh.
Similarly, local outfit Hindu Samaj organized a rally focusing on both international safety and domestic security.
Hindu Samaj leader Gyan Prakash Pani said the state government and the Centre should ensure that Bangladeshi infiltrators are ousted from the country.
“There should be no soft attitude towards Bangladeshi infiltrators in Odisha. We also urge the government to take measures for the protection of Hindus in Bangladesh,” he added.
