Communal violence: Protesters stage demo at Shahbagh
Several hundred people from different organisations of the Hindu community on Saturday observed a sit-in and mass hunger strike at the capital's Shahbagh intersection protesting the recent attacks on temples and vandalism of idols.
The protesters started the demonstration at Shahbagh intersection at 6:00 am Saturday.
The demonstration is part of countrywide processions, rallies and demonstrations staged by the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council (BHBUC).
Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal (Jasad) president Hasanul Huq Inu demanded security of the minority community people across the country and justice for the communal attacks carried out at different places.
“The attacks were carried out on the minority community people because of the negligence of the administration,” Inu said adding, “A non-communal political party and administration is a must to form non-communal Bangladesh.”
