Activists of Hindu Sanhati, a fringe pro-Hindu outfit, on Friday took out a rally to the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata to protest alleged attacks on minority Hindus in the neighbouring country and submitted a six-point charter of demands to mission officials. Delegation members later told reporters that the diplomat assured them their demands would be forwarded to the Bangladesh government. "We have also insisted that minority community members across the border and their religious institutions must be protected. After being stopped by police a few hundred metres from their destination, demonstrators blocked AJC Bose Road in front of the mission office and launched a sit-in protest. Leader of the Opposition and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari is scheduled to meet the deputy high commissioner later in the day along with leaders of several Hindu organisations.
