Kolkata, Dec 26 (NationPress) The Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, on Friday presented a deputation to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata, urging the caretaker government led by Muhammad Yunus to take swift action against those responsible for the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment factory worker. He also sought an end to what he termed the ongoing atrocities against the Hindu minority in the neighboring nation.

Accompanied by members of a Hindu saints' organization, Adhikari arrived at the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in the afternoon amid stringent security measures.

After engaging with senior officials from the Deputy High Commission, Adhikari addressed the media and expressed that the delegation demanded specific answers regarding the actions taken by the Bangladeshi government concerning the murder of Dipu Chandra Das.

“We asked what measures have been implemented against the assassins of Dipu Chandra Das and when the persistent violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh will cease. We also inquired about the strategies employed by the Bangladeshi administration to combat this issue,” Adhikari stated.

He emphasized that the delegation made it clear that if the atrocities against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh do not stop immediately, the Indian government would be forced to intervene.

Adhikari wore a portrait of Das around his neck during the visit. Initially, police at the venue blocked the delegation, but after verifying the appointment, Adhikari and four representatives of the Hindu saints’ organization were allowed entry.

Earlier this week, a protest led by Adhikari occurred outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata. During that incident, he was denied entry and announced his intention to return with a formal delegation on Friday. He also indicated that another protest would be organized if entry was again refused.

Later, Adhikari confirmed that a meeting was arranged for the afternoon of Friday.

This week, widespread protests erupted nationwide over the death of Das and allegations of minority persecution under the Yunus administration in Bangladesh.

From Delhi to Kolkata, Bhopal, and Hyderabad, various Hindu organizations protested what they labeled as targeted violence against minorities in the neighboring state.

The 25-year-old Hindu man, who was employed at a garment factory in Bangladesh, was reportedly dragged into the streets, assaulted by a mob, and murdered. His body was eventually burned after being tied to a tree. He had been accused of blasphemy by a co-worker, prompting a mob to storm the factory, seize him, and attack him.
