Don't think you as minorities, PM tells Hindus in Bangladesh

The prime minister said this while exchanging greetings with Hindu community virtually at Dhakeswari Mandir in Dhaka and JM Sen Hall in Chattogram on the occasion of holy Janmashtami from her official residence Ganabhaban in Dhaka.

She said that whenever any incident happens her government takes immediate action against the perpetrators.

"But colour is given on that incident as the Hindus have no rights. But the actions of the government after the incidents do not get proper attention," she said.

In this connection, she said that while taking actions to protect mandirs many muslims were killed in police firing. "This kind of incident also took place." She mentioned the incidents un Cumilla in support of her comments.
