Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today reassured the Hindu community of the country that Bangladesh Awami League (AL) will always remain beside them as in the past.
“We, Awami League was always beside you (Hindu community), and will remain beside you . . ,” she said while addressing the Hindu devotees during her visit to the Durga Puja Mandop at the Dhakeshwari National Temple this afternoon.
The premier said the Hindu community of the country has repeatedly been attacked, but Awami League always stood beside them.
In this regard, she referred to attack, repression and torture on the Hindu community in the country in 1992 and after 2001.
She said Bangladesh was even pushed back from the spirit of secularism after the brutal killing of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975.
The premier extended her greetings to Hindu community members at home and abroad on their sacred religious festival Sharadiya Durga Utsab and said, “Religion is for individuals, but festival is for all.”বিস্তারিত
