More than 500 hundred protestors began demonstrating around 12:00pm Friday. They came under the banners of Hindu student organisations based in Dhaka University. Traffic movement in the area has stopped due to their presence. An effigy of Fisheries Minister Sayedul Hoque who represents Brahmanbarhia’s Nasirnagar in Parliament was burnt by the protestors who hold him responsible for the Oct 30 attack on Hindu temples and homes. Some of the placards they carried, read – ‘Is it a crime to be born Hindu?’, ‘Is leaving home the only way?’.
