Protest Held Outside UK Parliament Demanding Labour Govt To Press Bangladesh Over Hindu Persecution

Hundreds of British Indians and Bangladeshi-origin Hindus staged a protest outside the UK Parliament in London, demanding stronger action from Prime Minister Keir Starmer against the persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. The demonstration, organised by the Bangladesh Hindu Association (UK), highlighted issues including temple protection, justice for lynching victims like Dipu Chandra Das, and the release of monk Chinmoy Prabhu. Labour MP Luke Murphy and former MP Virendra Sharma urged the British government to intervene and pressure Bangladesh to safeguard minority rights. Protesters emphasized that Hindus now make up just 7% of Bangladesh’s population, down from 30–40% in 1947, calling the situation a genocide and demanding urgent action for justice and protection.TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
