At London, United Kingdom hundreds of people carrying placards gathered to mark their protest against the ongoing atrocities executed by the radical groups against the minority Hindus in Bangladesh.
Members from the Bangladeshi and Indian Diaspora gathered near the iconic Big Ben and proceeded towards 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the British Prime Minister demanding immediate stopping of violence against the Hindus after ousting of former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.
The protestors were also joined by people of other communities concerned about the condition of minorities especially Hindus who are facing a genocide like situation across the country.
During the march the demonstrators were seen holding placards depicting demands for justice and stopping of violence against the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
In a press release issued after the protest march, the spokesperson of the protestor asserted that incident related to desecration of Hindu temples, arson along lynchin and rapes of members of minorities community are taking place accordin to the media reports.
He further emphasized that while the political turmoil is an internal matter of Bangladesh, the human rights violations are alarming. Extremist groups and certain Islamic organisations are exploiting the political instability to force minorities out of the country, reminiscent of the events of 1947 and 1971.
The desecration of statues of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh, and Rabindranath Tagore, the writer of the national anthem further indicates that the extremists are manipulating political issues as idols are prohibited in Islamic states.
