    Hindu protest over Bangladesh lynchings disrupted by Khalistani activists in UK

    A peaceful protest organised by the Hindu community outside the Bangladesh High Commission in London against the killing of Hindus in Bangladesh was disrupted on Saturday by a small group of Khalistani elements, triggering outrage among demonstrators.

    Indian and Bangladeshi Hindus had gathered to protest the lynching of Hindu men in Bangladesh amid rising communal tensions, when five Khalistani activists arrived at the site and attempted to derail the demonstration by chanting slogans and waving their flags. The group was seen openly siding with Bangladesh even as protesters raised concerns over violence against religious minorities.

    The Hindu demonstrators, shaken by the brutal lynchings of Dipu Chandra Das and Amrit Mondal, said the protest was meant to draw global attention to the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. Protesters played Amar Shonar Bangla, Bangladesh’s national anthem, and raised slogans demanding an immediate end to attacks on minorities, particularly Hindus.

    Members of the Hindu diaspora said the disruption by Khalistani elements exposed a pattern of provocation and intolerance, even as persecuted Hindus in Bangladesh continue to send out desperate appeals to India to open its borders to those fleeing Islamist mob violence.

    The London protest followed a wave of demonstrations across India on Friday after reports of lynchings of Hindu Bangladeshi nationals sparked political outrage. Protests were held in multiple states, including West Bengal and Assam, with demonstrators demanding accountability from the Bangladesh government and protection for minority communities.

    In Kolkata, several organisations took to the streets, with pro-Hindu activists wearing saffron attire and calling for an immediate halt to violence against minorities. Protesters accused radical elements in Bangladesh of targeting Hindus with impunity.

    Meanwhile, India has formally expressed serious concern over repeated incidents of violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh, including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists. The Ministry of External Affairs said it is closely monitoring developments in the neighbouring country.

    Addressing the media in New Delhi, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India was deeply disturbed by the continued hostility faced by minorities in Bangladesh.
    “India is closely monitoring developments and has expressed grave concern over the continued hostility of minorities, including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists. We condemn the recent killing of a Hindu youth in Mymensingh and expect that the perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice,” he said.
