Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus addressed the Hindu community at Dhakeshwari Temple amid recent violence against minorities. He called for patience and equality, blaming institutional decay for ongoing issues. Recent protests in Dhaka and Chattagram demanded protection and legal reforms for minorities, following attacks after the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Yunus, who took charge as the Chief Advisor of the interim government on August 8 amid ongoing violence and vandalism, including against the minorities, also said each one's rights should be ensured and blamed "institutional decay" for the predicament that his country has fallen into.
The meeting comes close on the heels of attacks on the minority Hindu population, vandalisation of their business and properties, and devastation of Hindu temples hours in the violence that ensued for days following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5.
"Rights are equal for everyone. We are all one people with one right. Do not make any distinctions among us. Please, assist us. Exercise patience, and later judge -- what we were able to do and not. If we fail, then criticize us," Yunus was quoted as saying by The Daily Star newspaper.
