A large number of Indian Americans held a march from the White House to the US Capitol over attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh. Raising slogans like ‘We want Justice’ and ‘Protect Hindus’ the peaceful demonstrators urged the Biden administration and the incoming Trump administration to ask the new government in Bangladesh to take steps to protect Hindus but also take action against those responsible for the violence.

Organisers of the event demanded that US companies stop buying garments from Bangladesh, which is heavily dependent on its exports to the US. “This march is not just a cry for justice; it is a demand for accountability,” said Utsav Chakrabarti, from HinduACTion—one of the organisers.
