BENGAL BJP TAKES UP CUDGELS FOR BANGLADESHI HINDUS
The Sunday Guardian
|December 28, 2025
West Bengal Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari spearheaded a high-voltage protest march to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission here on Friday, demanding an immediate end to the alleged persecution of Hindus in the neighbouring country.
Accompanied by five Hindu monks and around 1,000 supporters including seers and Naga sadhus, Adhikari met Deputy High Commissioner Sikder Mohammad Ashrafur Rahman, raising the recent lynching of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh and a spate of temple vandalism and attacks. The demonstrations, part of a week-long BJP-led agitation since December 22, underscore the party's aggressive mobilisation on the issue amid escalating cross-border tensions.
"I sent a clear message to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commissioner that we will not sit idle if two crore Hindus in Bangladesh face trouble in their own country. Today, we expressed our concerns and demanded that the oppression of Hindus in Bangladesh be stopped," Adhikari told reporters after the meeting.
