PM Sheikh Hasina to Hindu community in Bangladesh: You and I have same rights

Hindustan Times  

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reached out to the country's Hindu community on the occasion of Janmashtami as she urged believers of other faiths not to think of themselves as minorities, saying everyone irrespective of their religions will enjoy equal rights in the Muslim majority nation. Hasina, who interacted with Hindu leaders on Thursday, said the community has the same rights as she has in the country, adding that the number of mandaps in Dhaka during the Durga Puja festivities are much higher than they are in West Bengal. According to a report in the Dhaka Tribune newspaper, Hasina said, “We want people of all faiths to live with equal rights. Hasina also spoke about how whenever an untoward incident occurs in the country, it is put out in a manner that makes it look the Hindu community does not have any rights in Bangladesh.
