Thousands of members of youth and student bodies affiliated with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party staged a road march procession from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, towards the eastern border with India on Wednesday. The protest was in response to an attack on a diplomatic mission earlier in the month and alleged desecration of Bangladeshi flags in India.
The protesters traveled in cars to reach the border point at Akhaura in Brahmanbaria district to voice their grievances. Prior to departing for the border area, they gathered briefly in Dhaka where leaders condemned what they termed as 'Indian aggression' against Bangladesh.
