A mass demonstration was recently held outside the UK Parliament to highlight the plea of Hindu community members who were targeted in Bangladesh during the recent protests.

The demonstration was recently held on August 6.

Organised under the banner “Save Bangladeshi Hindus, UK,” the protest highlighted the escalating dangers faced by these vulnerable groups, reported Bangla Mirror.

During the protest, demonstrators said Bangladesh is on the verge of collapse due to ineffective law enforcement, creating a dangerous power vacuum.

“The minority communities of Bangladesh are in great danger,” Pushpita Gupta, one of the protest organisers, told Bangla Mirror.

Gupta said “We urgently call on the international community to raise their voices against these atrocities and show solidarity with the persecuted minorities.”

The event, jointly organised by Hindu groups in the UK, featured addresses from community leaders including Himangshu Goswami, Hindol Goswami, Shilpi Baiddyo, Rimpi Baiddyo, Piklu Baiddyo, Suranjit Gupta, Ferdausi Lipi, Shahid Ali, Tapan Saha, Ram Saha, and Sukumar Saha.

The protesters emphasised the critical need for immediate action to protect the rights, safety, and religious freedoms of minority communities in Bangladesh.

They asked international organisations and global leaders to intervene and prevent further escalation of tension.
