A peaceful protest organized outside the Bangladesh High Commission in London ended in controversy when a group of Khalistani supporters disrupted it. This demonstration was organized under the leadership of the Hindu community, the purpose of which was to protest against the death of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh. However, Khalistani groups started showing anti-India slogans and Khalistani flags.

Hindu protesters present outside the Bangladesh High Commission said that the event was completely peaceful and humanitarian, which had nothing to do with the internal politics of any country. He said that in recent months, incidents of violence against religious minorities, especially Hindus, have increased worryingly in Bangladesh.

How did Dipu Chandra Das die?

The protesters on the occasion specifically mentioned the murder of Dipu Chandra Das, a 29-year-old garment factory worker in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. It is alleged that following alleged blasphemy charges, he was beaten to death by the mob, then his body was hanged from a tree and burnt. The incident is reported to have taken place on December 18 and caused deep outrage within and outside Bangladesh. The protesters also raised the issue of Amrit Mandal’s death in Rajbari on Christmas eve. Although Bangladeshi officials said Amrit Mandal was involved in a criminal activity and died during a clash with locals, protesters say such cases raise serious questions about the safety of minorities.

Khalistani people intervened
The intervention of Khalistani supporters during the demonstration surprised the protesters. According to eyewitnesses, the Khalistani group raised anti-India slogans and waved Khalistani flags. Manu Khajuria, associated with the UK Insight group, reacted strongly to the incident and said, “It was extremely shocking that fundamentalist elements tried to silence those who talked about harmony and minority rights.” He clarified that this demonstration was not for any political agenda, but in support of human rights and peace.
