Hindu organizations, alongside the BJP, staged a protest in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar district on Monday. Their demonstration, held at Kuleed Chowk, was against recent alleged attacks and violence faced by the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh, drawing attention to incidents of assault and arson.

The Sanatan Dharm Sabha led the protest, resulting in several local businesses shutting down in support of a bandh call. The Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Jammu and Kashmir Assembly, Sunil Sharma, took part, emphasizing the need for solidarity with Hindus under attack in Bangladesh.

With effigies being burned, protest leaders, including Rocky Goswami, expressed their awareness of the violent circumstances, such as the lynching of Dipu Das. They pledged to submit a memorandum to Indian top officials, urging government intervention to safeguard Hindus and their properties.
