Police later detained the protesters and sent them to Eco Garden. The protest took place near the Health Department building intersection in Kaiserbagh.

AAP workers alleged that Hindus are being killed in Bangladesh while the government here is serving biryani to Sheikh Hasina. They demanded that Sheikh Hasina be sent back to Bangladesh.

Aam Aadmi Party District President Iram said, “It is very sad that the Hindu community has been facing atrocities in Bangladesh for a long time. Hindus are being killed there, yet our Prime Minister remains silent. The way the blood of Hindu brothers is being shed, has their blood become so cheap that no one raises their voice against it?”

AAP leaders alleged that the current government is focused on helping industrialists make profits and is therefore not taking any action against Bangladesh. They said the people of the country want to know whether this Hindu government was formed solely to gain power. This government belongs to neither Hindus nor Muslims, but will do anything to retain its position.

The AAP leaders further said, “It has been more than a year since atrocities have been taking place in Bangladesh, and the government has remained silent. Under this government, neither Hindus are safe outside the country, nor are women safe inside.”
