Dibrugarh: The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal staged a protest on Thursday in Assam’s Dibrugarh, burning the effigy of interim Prime Minister Muhammad Yunus to condemn the killing of a Hindu youth in Bangladesh.
The protesters marched from the district office of Vishva Hindu Parishad towards Thanachariali, expressing anger over the incident.
Members chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and raised slogans against the Bangladesh government for failing to protect the rights of Hindus.
During the demonstration, protesters demanded justice for Dipu Das and an end to what they described as continued violence against minorities across the border.
“Today, we took out a protest rally against the Bangladesh government for completely failing to protect Hindu citizens. One Hindu youth was brutally killed and set ablaze in front of a crowd after being tied to a tree. We condemn such brutality,” said a member of VHP.
He added, “Jihadi elements have taken over the government in Bangladesh and are working on its behalf.”
