Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh) [India], December 23 (ANI): Vishva Hindu Parishad along with Bajrang Dal and other Hindu outfits staged a protest in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal on Tuesday over the atrocities against Hindus and the mob lynching of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh.
The members of the Hindu outfit also burn the effigy of the Bangladesh government to mark their protest on the occasion. 
“Bajrang Dal has protested against the Bangladesh government today over the atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh and we have also burned an effigy of the Bangladesh government. We demand that President’s Rule be imposed in Bangladesh and the extremists roaming on the street should be taken into custody,” a member of the Bajrang Dal told ANI.
He further added that if the government failed to protect the Hindu then the Bajrang Dal was capable of protecting the Hindu by moving to Bangladesh.
The purpose of the protest is to push for action against the tragic mob lynching and killing of Dipu Chandra Das on December 18 over an alleged claim of blasphemy.
Several protests were staged against the violence against minorities in Bangladesh across India.
Amid the heightened tensions, Bangladesh has suspended consular and visa services in New Delhi and Agartala due to security concerns following protests. The Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Pranay Verma, was summoned by Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs over the protests.
Bangladesh on Tuesday expressed grave concern over attacks on its diplomatic missions in India, summoning the Indian High Commissioner to protest incidents in New Delhi and Siliguri, according to Bangladesh Foreign Ministry statement.
“Bangladesh condemns such acts of premeditated violence or intimidation against diplomatic establishments, which not only endanger the safety of diplomatic personnel but also undermine the principles of mutual respect and values of peace and tolerance”, it added.
The Bangladesh Foreign Ministry condemned the violence, citing threats to diplomatic personnel and establishments, and urged India to ensure their safety and security.
“The Government of Bangladesh called upon the Government of India to conduct a thorough investigation into the incidents, to take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such acts and to ensure safety and security of Bangladesh’s diplomatic missions and related facilities in India”, the statement said.
The incidents include vandalism at the Bangladesh Visa Centre in Siliguri on December 22, 2025 and a protest outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on December 20, 2025.
India has dismissed allegations of inadequate security, stating the New Delhi protest was brief and posed no threat. The row stems from the killing of a Hindu youth in Bangladesh, sparking international concern over minority safety.
India on Sunday dismissed “misleading propaganda” in sections of the Bangladeshi media over a demonstration in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi against the “horrendous killing” of Hindu youth, and said the protest was brief and posed no security threat.
The 27-year-old Hindu youth, Dipu Chandra Das, was brutally killed in Mymensingh, again triggering international concern over the safety of minorities in Bangladesh.
Das was beaten to death by a mob over alleged blasphemy, and his body was subsequently set on fire on December 18. The incident sparked widespread outrage and condemnation. (ANI)
