Massive protests erupted in Agartala on Tuesday as part of the ‘Bangladesh Chalo’ movement, with thousands of demonstrators rallying against the arrest of Hindu spiritual leader Chinmoy Prabhu and the alleged persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh.

Mahalaya which was celebrated on Wednesday, marks a significant event in the life of Hindus for several reasons.

While speaking at the ongoing state assembly session, Sarma stated that demographic changes are occurring in parts of lower Assam and could lead to an unprecedented human disaster.

The rally began from Railway station Hanuman mandir with hundreds of members holding banners and raising slogans to 'stop atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh.

Despite the installation of an interim government in Bangladesh, the situation remains volatile in the country, with a growing humanitarian crisis. The minority communities are feeling vulnerable as more of them try to enter India to seek refuse.

While the entire north-eastern region has urged the central government to ensure that no infiltration happens along the region’s international border with Bangladesh due to the political upheaval in the country, former Governor of Meghalaya, Tathagata Roy, has sparked a controversy by asking the Centre to open the borders to allow Hindus in Bangladesh to take refuse in India.
