The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has criticised Bangladesh's interim government calling it a "mute spectator" as it said violence against Hindus must be stopped. "The atrocities being committed against Hindus...by Islamic extremists, including attacks, killings, looting, arson, and inhumane persecution of women, are alarming," RSS said. It also sought the release of Hindu monk Chinmoy Das.
