A rally was held in Dhaka on Thursday in front of the National Press Club, calling for global humanitarian unity and protesting alleged persecution of Muslims in West Bengal, Assam, and Kashmir. The event, organized by Nagorik Parishad, was titled “Rally demanding global humanitarian unity to stop Delhi’s persecution of Muslims in West Bengal, Assam, and Kashmir.”

Nagorik Parishad convener Mohammad Shamsuddin presided over the gathering, alleging that Muslims in various Indian states face continuous discrimination and violence. He accused Delhi’s communal attitude of poisoning the lives of Indian Muslims and criticized the contradiction between beef-related killings and India’s status as a major beef exporter. Other speakers, including World Muslim Ummah chairman Dr. Farid Ahmed Khan and Urdu-speaking minority leader Afzal Warsi, highlighted historical contributions of Muslims to India and ongoing identity crises since partition.

Speakers also emphasized national unity in Bangladesh to protect sovereignty and communal harmony. The event concluded with calls for impartial investigations into violence in Assam and appeals for international human rights attention to the situation in India.
