100s of Hindus from the Bangladeshi diaspora gathered at the White House, USA

A gathering of hundreds of Hindus from the Bangladeshi diaspora at the White House, protesting against the alleged pogroms of Hindus in Bangladesh.

• The protesters are raising slogans in support of Hindus in Bangladesh who they claim are facing persecution.
• They are demanding the release of Chinmoy Krishna Das, who they allege is illegally detained in Bangladesh.

This protest is likely in response to ongoing concerns about the safety and rights of religious minorities in Bangladesh. The reference to “pogroms” suggests organized violence or persecution against this community.
