Updated: Dec 10th, 2024
In Ahmedabad, a large human chain was organised at the Riverfront earlier on Tuesday in response to the ongoing violence. The event saw participation from BJP workers, Hindu organisations, and members of the Hindu Hit Rakshak Samiti.
The impact of recent attacks on Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh has now spread across India, including Gujarat. Over the past few weeks, there have been widespread protests and demonstrations throughout the country.
The Riverfront echoed with slogans demanding an end to the atrocities in Bangladesh. The event was attended by prominent figures including Mahant Das of the Ahmedabad Jagannath Temple, saints from the Swaminarayan sect, BJP legislators, and party workers.
Mahant Das expressed grave concern over the situation of Hindus in Bangladesh, highlighting the destruction of idols and temples. He also demanded the immediate release of Chinmay Krishnadas, an ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) priest, who was arrested in connection with the flag incident in Chattogram.
Devang Dani, the Chairman of the AMC Standing Committee, condemned the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, stressing that the global Hindu community stands in solidarity with them, even though their numbers may be small in Bangladesh.
Raja Krishnamoorthi also expressed concern over the violence in Bangladesh and urged the Bangladeshi government to protect human rights, provide legal security, and put an end to the attacks on Hindus.
