Huge protests have erupted outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi over the atrocities against minorities in Bangladesh and the mob lynching of a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, in Mymensingh.

A major row has erupted over the disruption of a Sikh religious procession (nagar kirtan) by members of a far-right group in South Auckland, New Zealand.

Congress MP Imran Masood stated that Priyanka Gandhi would “deliver a decisive treatment” to Bangladesh if she becomes Prime Minister, drawing a parallel to Indira Gandhi’s actions. Masood’s remarks came amid protests in Dhaka over violence against minorities, specifically the mob lynching of Hindu youth Dipu Chandra Das over alleged blasphemy charges.
