Kolkata, December 6, 2024: Amid rising tensions and protests following recent violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, Suvendu Adhikari, Leader of Opposition in West Bengal, has called for greater Hindu unity in the state. His comments come in the wake of widespread attacks on Hindu communities in Bangladesh, where temples, homes, and businesses have been targeted by radical mobs.

Adhikari, echoing concerns raised by several political leaders in India, called on Hindus to stand united in the face of rising religious persecution. He stressed that the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh should be a priority for India and highlighted the deteriorating conditions for minorities across the border. His comments are part of a larger debate around the growing influence of radical groups in Bangladesh and the potential impact on India’s political and social landscape.
The unrest in Bangladesh has sparked widespread protests, with people in India, especially from Hindu organizations, expressing solidarity with their counterparts in Bangladesh. The violence has drawn international attention, with Indian officials urging Bangladesh to ensure the protection of minority communities.
