Amid the Islamist onslaught against religious minorities, Hindus took out a protest rally in the historic Lal Dighi ground in Chittagong city of Bangladesh. The development came amid wide-scale attacks on Hindu homes and temples and the forced resignation of minority teachers from government jobs. Hindus are now demonstrating in Lal Dighi for acceptance of 8 demands by the administration.
Hindus assembled today at Lal Dighi in Chittagong, Bangladesh.
This show of strength has no long term advantage unless India picks up the baton and supports the Hindus of Bangladesh to carve out an Independent Enclave.
