CHENNAI: The BJP State unit on Friday announced plans to stage a protest on December 4, condemning the recent attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh.

According to Karu Nagarajan, BJP state vice-president and State coordinator of the Rescue Committee of Bangladesh Hindus' Rights, the protest will be held in all district capitals across the State.

"The protest would bring in much-needed attention to the ongoing attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh. We demand a permanent solution to the issue," Nagarajan said. He emphasised the severe nature of the attacks and sought condemnation from the international community.

The BJP leader sent a petition to the State Director General of Police (DGP), Shankar Jiwal, seeking permission for the protest and protection for the participants.
