A religious figure is sounding the alarm about Hindu persecution in Bangladesh. Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the chief of Bageshwar Dham, often called Bageshwar Baba, condemned recent mob attacks during a press conference in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, where he is holding a multi-day religious event. He specifically mentioned the lynching of a man named Amrit Mandal in Rajbari district and the earlier killing of Dipu Chandra Das, calling the situation dire for the minority community there.

Shastri argued that Hindu identity in Bangladesh faces grave danger, suggesting people could be forced to convert or worse if no action is taken. He made a direct appeal for Hindu unity across India and pushed the Indian government to step in. His proposed solutions included deporting illegal immigrants like the Rohingya while creating legal pathways for Bangladeshi Hindus fleeing persecution to find safety in India.

The spiritual leader also countered criticism from former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who had questioned his charitable projects. Shastri defended his social work, explaining that public donations fund efforts like building cancer hospitals and supporting poor families with wedding costs. He stated that divine grace and medical science serve different purposes, hence the need for actual hospitals. His comments arrive amid broader protests in India concerning the safety of minorities in neighboring Bangladesh.
