BJP protests vandalism at Tagore's home in Bangladesh
New Delhi: The Delhi BJP on Monday held a protest near the Bangladesh high commission against the attack and vandalism at the ancestral home of Nobel laureate and Bharat Ratna Rabindranath Tagore in Bangladesh recently.
Under the leadership of Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, protesters gathered at the Prime Minister's Museum at Teen Murti Chowk and marched toward the high commission. They broke through two police barricades before being stopped by police. They were taken to Chanakyapuri police station, but were released after about 30 minutes with a warning.
Carrying portraits of Rabindranath Tagore and placards with slogans, the protesters kept chanting, "India will not tolerate the insult of Bharat Ratna Rabindranath Tagore!"
Sachdeva said: "Rabindranath Tagore was a great man.
The deliberate destruction of his ancestral home is not just an attack on a building, it is an attack on Bengali culture and Hindu heritage. Bangladesh came into existence in 1971, but today, we are witnessing the dangerous forces that are influencing it."
The Delhi BJP chief added that "Bengali culture speaks of music, sweetness, art and culture. But if anyone tries to insult it, every Indian will raise his voice. We are united today to send a message that we will not tolerate any tampering with Bengali heritage.

If India helps any country, it will not stay silent over injustice against Hindus there."
South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, who also took part in the protest, said: "Rabindranath Tagore was a man beyond borders. We condemn the interim govt of Bangladesh. The lack of action in this matter so far is highly questionable."
MP Manoj Tiwari said: "The atrocities being committed against Hindus in Bangladesh, especially the deliberate attempt to destroy Rabindranath Tagore's ancestral home, a heritage of the Hindu community, are unacceptable. The image seen here today will inspire pride among Hindus in Bangladesh."
