Dhaka, June 18 -- Bangladeshi Hindu students will hold a large protest on Friday against the alleged disrespect shown to the Hindu God Lord Ram.

The students alleged that recently, a violent mob desecrated the statue of Lord Ram by placing a shoe on it, which is an insult and an affront to the Hindu religion.
