Protesters against Indian aggression towards Bangladesh on Friday blamed India for spreading rumours over torturing religious minorities in Bangladesh after the ouster of the Awami League government.
They alleged that India was hatching such conspiracies as the country could not be able to use the interim government like slaves what it had done in Bangladesh during fascist Sheikh Hasina鈥檚 16 years of misrule.
Protests spread in Dhaka as elsewhere across the country hours after the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in India鈥檚 Agartala came under attack by a group of Indians on December 2 during their protests,聽 demanding the release of Hindu community leader in Bangladesh Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, now in jail in a sedition case.
The protest for the attack on Bangladesh mission in India and India鈥檚 aggression against Bangladesh continued for the past 12 days.
Addressing a rally organised by Jubo Odhikar Parishad in front of the National Press Club on Friday afternoon, Gono Odhikar Parishad faction president Nurul Haque Nur said that Indian media outlets, politicians and civil society representatives were spreading rumours that religious minorities were being tortured in Bangladesh after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime.
鈥業ndia had used the Awami League like a slave in the past 16 years but they could not use the interim government what they did with the Awami League government. This is why they are spreading such rumours and propaganda in Bangladesh,鈥� he added.
He said that India continued to deprive people of Bangladesh of waters of 54 transboundary rivers with Bangladesh.
He said that from now on, bilateral agreements would be made on the basis of equality.
After the rally, they also brought out a torch procession protesting against India鈥檚 aggression and hegemony.
Bangladesh Deshpremik Projonmo also formed a human chain demanding communal harmony in Bangladesh at the base of Raju Memorial Sculpture on the Dhaka University campus on Friday afternoon.
