Thursday, December 25, 2025<\/strong> Hundreds of protesters clashed with police in New Delhi<\/a><\/span> on Tuesday during a demonstration near the High Commission of Bangladesh<\/a><\/span>. The unrest occurred amid tensions between the two nations following the lynching of a Hindu<\/a><\/span> man in Bangladesh last week. Following the protests reportedly trying to breach the High Commission, Bangladesh<\/a> summoned India\u2019s envoy to express concern.\n<\/p>\n Hindu nationalist<\/a><\/span> groups, including the Vishva Hindu Parishad<\/a><\/span> (VHP), mobilized the march and attempted to breach barricades set up near the embassy. Television footage showed protesters chanting slogans, demanding a boycott of Bangladesh, and burning pictures of the head of Bangladesh’s interim government, Muhammad Yunus<\/a><\/span>. Demonstrators carried placards with slogans such as “India will not tolerate torture of Hindus in Bangladesh.”\n<\/p>\n Security personnel used batons to disperse demonstrators who broke through barricades. Protests also occurred in Jammu and Kashmir<\/a><\/span> and other regions.\n<\/p>\n In response to the unrest, summoning the Indian High Commissioner, Pranay Verma<\/a><\/span>, on Tuesday, Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed concern over “violent protests” outside diplomatic missions and urged New Delhi to ensure security. India’s foreign ministry<\/a><\/span> characterized a prior Sunday demonstration as a small gathering of “20-25 youths” that was quickly dispersed and told they are “committed to ensure the safety of foreign missions”.\n<\/p>\n The diplomatic squabble stemmed from the killing of Dipu Chandra Das, a garment worker in the Mymensingh District<\/a><\/span> of Bangladesh last Thursday. According to Reuters<\/a><\/span>, Das as 27 years old, while according to the Associated Press<\/a><\/span>, his age was 25. A mob accused Das of blasphemy<\/a><\/span> against the Islamic Prophet Muhammad<\/a><\/span>. The mob beat him to death, hung his body, and then set it on fire.\n<\/p>\n By Monday, police in Bangladesh had arrested at least 10 individuals in connection with the murder.\n<\/p>\n Tensions in the region had already escalated following the death of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi. Hadi, a critic of India and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina<\/a><\/span>, died in a Singapore hospital on December 18 after being shot in Dhaka<\/a><\/span> earlier in the month. His death triggered widespread violence, including arson attacks on media outlets and Indian diplomatic missions.\n<\/p>\n Religious minority groups have accused the interim government of failing to protect them. But the Yunus administration has rejected those allegations. Amit Malviya<\/a><\/span>, a spokesperson for India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party<\/a><\/span> (BJP), condemned the lynching on X<\/a><\/span>, attributing it to “unchecked Islamic extremism” and criticizing the state of minority protection in Bangladesh.\n<\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n #Protests #erupt #Delhi #envoy #summoned #lynching #Hindu #man #Bangladesh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Related articles Location of A… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6882"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microvibenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
