An organisation named ‘Inqilab Mancha’ on Friday gathered at Gulshan-2 in the capital and started a march towards the Indian High Commission to protest the recent attack on Bangladesh’s Agartala mission.

Meanwhile, police barricaded the protesters at the Gulshan-2 intersection, our correspondent reports from the spot.

Rakib Hasan, additional deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Gulshan division, told that the police are on alert to avoid any untoward situation.

Due to police barricade, only a three-member delegation of Inqilab Mancha went to Indian High Commission and handed over a memorandum while the rest of the protesters waited at Gulshan-2.

Speaking to reporters at the spot, Sharif Osman Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Mancha, said, “India has to fix their minority issues first. They kill Muslim for eating beef. They beat and stripped Kuki women naked in public. But they lecture us about minority persecution.”

Mahmudul Hasan, a Dhaka college student who joined the procession, said, “India has long been suppressing their minorities and now they lecture us. We haven’t forgotten yet what happened on 6 December 1992 in Ayodha. India should rinse off their hands before preaching Bangladesh on religious harmony.”
