BJP cries foul as police quell violence at Bangladeshi mission in Kolkata
Potential abuse of power by police against protestors is concerning.
Demonstrations outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata turned violent on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, as protestors attempted to breach barricades. The protest march, organized by Bongiyo Hindu Jagaran, was sparked by the lynching of Bangladeshi Hindu youth Dipu Das and demanded safety for Hindus in Bangladesh. The West Bengal opposition leader, Suvendu Adhikari, criticized the police action, claiming it mirrored the violence under the previous government. The BJP has called for protests at the Bangladesh border later this month, drawing parallels between the situation in Bangladesh and West Bengal.
