NEW DELHI: The head of Bangladesh’s interim government Prof Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday visited Dhakeswari Temple in Dhaka amid reports of attacks on minority communities.
“We have to establish human rights and freedom of speech. That is our prime goal,” Yunus said after the visit.
According to a report in Dhaka Tribune, Yunus also said that the main goal of the interim government is to ensure human rights and freedom of speech for all.
“You simply say that you are human, a citizen of Bangladesh, and this is your constitutional right that must be ensured. Just demand this, nothing more,” he added.
Yunus also asserted that everyone is equal in the eyes of law, there is no scope to create differences.
“I am here to say we are all equal, there is no scope to create any differences here,” he said.
“Please help us to establish that, have patience, and judge later whether we could do that or not. If we can not do that, then blame us. That is the main thing,” he added.
Earlier, Yunus had condemned the attacks on minority communities, calling them “heinous”.
“Are they not people of this country? You have been able to save the country, can’t you save some families,” he asked as the Hindu community held its biggest street demonstration yet, seeking safety and security and calling for justice.
