AGARTALA: The Sadar Urban Committee of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised a protest rally on Saturday in Agartala, marching from Fire Service Choumuhani to Border Golchakkar. The party leaders condemned recent incidents of violence and targeting of minority communities in Bangladesh. The rally saw the presence of several prominent BJP leaders, including Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) Mayor Dipak Majumder, senior party leader and MLA Bhagaban Das, and other local party members.
The protest was sparked by reports of repeated attacks on minorities in Bangladesh and, more recently, an alleged attack on the ancestral home of Rabindranath Tagore—an act the BJP described as a “deep emotional blow” to the people of India.
Speaking at the rally, BJP leaders expressed outrage over what they called the “barbaric acts” being carried out under the interim government in Bangladesh, allegedly formed with the support of the interim government chief, Md Yunus. “This house is not just a structure—it’s a symbol of cultural heritage and pride for all Bengalis,” said one of the speakers. “By attacking it, the perpetrators have insulted the entire Indian community,” said the senior BJP leader, MLA Bhagawan Das. This protest rally had been postponed for the victims of the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad and was held today instead on 12th June.
The BJP also criticised political opponents for their silence on the issue. “Neither the Communists nor the Congress have spoken up. They remain silent on Pakistan, on West Bengal, and now on the situation in Bangladesh. But we will not be silent,” said MLA Bhagaban Das. (ANI)
