DHAKA, August 10, 2024 (TBINN)
Thousands of Minority Hindu Community members staged massive protest rallies in Bangladesh’s capital and North-eastern port city of Chattagram today, the second consecutive day, demanding protection amid nation-wide vandalism that saw attacks on temples and their households and businesses.
Demanding special tribunals to expedite trials of those who persecute the minorities, allocation of 10 per cent parliamentary seats for the minorities and enactment of a minority protection law among others, the Hindu demonstrators’ rally blocked traffic for over three hours at Shahbagh in the central part of Dhaka.
Thousands of Muslim protestors, including students, also joined them here expressing solidarity for the cause of minorities, who have faced the brunt of the violence and devastation after Sheikh Hasina resigned as prime minister and fled to India on Monday.
