March against attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh held from White House to US Capitol

WASHINGTON: A large number of Indian Americans held a march from the White House to the US Capitol over attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.

Raising slogans like “We want Justice” and “Protect Hindus” the peaceful demonstrators urged the Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration to ask the new government in Bangladesh to take steps to protect Hindus but also take action against those responsible for this.

The march was held on Monday over attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Organisers of the event — StopHinduGenocide.org, Bangladeshi Diaspora organisations and HinduACTion – demanded that the companies in the US stop buying garments from Bangladesh, which is heavily dependent on its exports to the US.
