Amidst the ongoing attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, the head of the country’s interim government, Muhammad Yunus, met religious leaders. He met religious leaders and asked for accurate information about the attacks on minorities in the country.
Mohammad Yunus met religious leaders and said that the issue of attack on minorities has come to light again. But there is a world of difference between the reality and the news published in foreign media.
He said that we want accurate information in this regard and want to establish a process to obtain this information.
Although Muhammad Yunus did not mention any specific foreign media, many of his interim cabinet colleagues accused a section of the Indian media of spreading misinformation.
While addressing a meeting of religious leaders of Muslim, Hindu, Christian and Buddhist communities, Yunus said that after reading the news published in foreign media, many questions were arising in my mind, after which I have called this meeting. We seek cooperation from religious leaders to collect accurate information regarding the news published in the media.
He said that there is no difference between our objectives. Please let us know how we will get accurate information. Many times even official information is of no use. Yunus said that all citizens of Bangladesh have equal rights and it is the responsibility of the government to protect their rights.
He said that if there is an incident of attack on minorities, then information about such incidents should be collected immediately and the culprits should be punished. I think most of the people of Bangladesh will agree with me. Despite our differences, we are not each other’s enemies.
