Students of Dhaka University belonging to the Sanatan religious community held a protest rally and demonstration on Monday evening at the Raju Sculpture, condemning an incident in Gaibandha where an image of Lord Ramchandra was allegedly beaten with shoes. The protesters demanded the immediate arrest and exemplary punishment of those involved. The event was organized under the banner of ‘Conscious Students of Dhaka University’ and included participants from Jagannath Hall and several women’s dormitories.
Speakers at the rally said the act had deeply hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindu community and accused extremist groups of trying to create division in society. They criticized the government for failing to ensure justice in previous cases of attacks on minorities and called for swift legal action against the perpetrators. One student leader warned of a larger movement if justice was not served by Friday.
After the rally, the protesters briefly blocked Shahbagh intersection, carrying placards and chanting slogans for religious harmony, action against extremism, and the resumption of construction of the country’s largest Ram statue in Gaibandha.
