New Delhi (Visvas News): The situation in Bangladesh has escalated further following the arrest of Hindu priest Chinmay Das and the ongoing incidents of exploitation and violence against the minority community. Meanwhile, an image is going viral on social media, showing two crying children holding a placard that reads, “SAVE BANGLIADEKHI HINSDUS.” The image is being shared widely, with many users associating it with the struggles of minorities in Bangladesh.
