Demonstration against violence in Bangladesh set for August 17, starting from Sakchi

Jamshedpur’s Bengali community organizes torch procession to protest escalating violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

JAMSHEDPUR – The Bengali community in Jamshedpur will hold a torch procession on August 17 to protest the rising violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

The protest, organized by ‘All Bengali Clubs of Jamshedpur,’ aims to draw attention to the plight of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.

Recent political turmoil in Bangladesh has reportedly led to increased atrocities against Hindu Bengalis.

The torch procession is scheduled to begin at 6:00 pm from Sakchi Netaji Subhash Maidan (Aambagan).

Protesters will march to the Sakchi roundabout, where the demonstration will conclude.

The decision to hold the protest was announced during a press conference at Sakchi Bengal Club on Friday.

Community members expressed deep concern over reports of attacks on temples, murders, and sexual violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.

The dissolution of Parliament and the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have contributed to the unrest.

Organizers hope to urge both Bangladeshi and Indian governments to take action to protect Hindu minorities.

The torch procession serves as a symbolic gesture of solidarity with those affected by the violence.
