At the end of the procession, IU anti-discrimination student movement coordinators said, “The attack on our diplomatic office in India is an attack on our nation’s dignity and independence. We demand an immediate apology from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
“The struggle against the domination of India, will continue, and we want everyone on our side in this struggle,” they further said.
The protesters also saying, “Every citizen in our country is free; no minority, namely Hindus, has been attacked. Indian media is spreading propaganda that Hindus are being persecuted in Bangladesh.”
