Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus today highlighted the discrepancy between foreign media reports and the reality surrounding attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. During his opening remarks to religious leaders at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka, Yunus called for better cooperation in gathering accurate information on such incidents.
He emphasized that while foreign media have been reporting on attacks against minorities in the country, it is crucial to establish a reliable process for obtaining factual information. “We want to know the accurate information and establish the process of getting it,” he added.
Acknowledging the equal rights guaranteed to all citizens of Bangladesh, Yunus stressed that the state’s responsibility is to protect these rights as enshrined in the constitution. He stated that any attack on minorities must be met with swift action, including the immediate collection of information and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
In his speech after the meet, Younus said, “We are all members of one family. Together we’ll strengthen the country.”
However, several Hindu activists objected to this meet. They said that in the name of meet, Younus Govt invited people who never uttered a single word against the ongoing anti-Hindu violence in the country. Besides, no Hindu representative raised the issue of human rights violation in the case of Sri Chinmay Krishna Das Prabhu. It’s a sheer effort of eyewash to fool the international community, they said.
