Thousands of people took to the streets in Srinagar to demonstrate against the escalating violence in Bangladesh, particularly targeting the Hindu minority. Protesters voiced outrage over reports of attacks on temples, homes, and businesses belonging to Hindus. According to recent reports, there were widespread incidents of looting, vandalism, and destruction of properties, with some fatalities in the wake of communal tensions. Local activists in Srinagar have condemned the violence, expressing solidarity with the affected communities in Bangladesh. The protests came amid growing concerns over the safety of religious minorities in the region.
These incidents come as part of a broader pattern of violence targeting minority communities in Bangladesh, particularly during periods of political unrest. The attacks, which intensified after the fall of the Awami League government, have been characterized by widespread looting and vandalism, with authorities struggling to restore order in the most affected areas. Security forces in Bangladesh have been deployed to control the violence, but reports indicate that many victims have yet to receive justice.
