Protest outside White House and in New York calls for justice

In Washington, a large crowd gathered outside the White House to protest against the violence targeting Hindus in Bangladesh. The demonstrators, including members of various human rights organizations, demanded peace and protection for minorities. In Washington DC, protesters traveled from various states including Maryland, Virginia, and New York, carrying American and Bangladeshi flags.

They held signs demanding the protection of Bangladeshi minorities and chanted slogans such as “We want justice” to call for peace amid the recent escalation of violence. The demonstration attracted activists from human rights organizations, members of the Bangladeshi diaspora, and Indian-American Hindu supporters.

Shubho Roy, a Bangladeshi Hindu with family ties in Bangladesh, expressed deep concern over the situation. “We need a permanent solution so that Hindus and other minorities can live with dignity in Bangladesh,” Roy told news agency ANI.
