Indian police shot dead two protesters while around 20 countries have called in their Indian ambassadors over anti-Islam remarks by a suspended spokeswoman for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ruling party:
Bangladeshi Islamist parties’ activists and supporters gather in a demonstration in Dhaka on 10 June, 2022, to protest against against Nupur Sharma, a suspended spokeswoman for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, over her anti-Islam remarks which sparked a diplomatic backlash.
"We gather here today to protest the insult of our Prophet by Indian government officials," said Amanullah Aman, a protester in the capital Dhaka. "We want death penalties for them." Around 5,000 supporters of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan — a previously banned group — gathered to protest in the city centre calling on the government to take stronger action against India over the comments.
A spontaneous shutdown saw businesses close across Srinagar, the region's major city, with protesters calling for retribution against "disrespect" to Prophet Muhammad.
