Islami Andolan Bangladesh
Thousands of activists belonging to Islami Andolon Bangladesh marched towards the Indian High Commission to register their protest against the allegedly hurtful remarks made by two former BJP spokespersons against Mohammed, regarded by Muslims as their last prophet.
The rally, led by Islami Andolan Bangladesh chief Charmonai Pir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim, started at the north gate of Dhaka's Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.
The protestors demanded that a resolution be passed in the country's Parliament condemning the remarks made by the former BJP spokespersons . They also demanded that Indian ambassador be summoned.
The protesting activists also demanded the arrest of former BJP spokespersons Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar Jindal.
The protest created traffic congestion stalling vehicular movement around the Baitul Mukarram area and adjacent areas.
Police blocked the Islami Andolan Bangladesh-led protest march when it reached the capital's Shantinagar area. Later, a five-member delegation of the organisation left to hand over a memorandum to the Indian High Commission.
