"Bangladesh Belongs To Everyone": Muhammad Yunus After Meeting Hindu Leaders | Read

Making an important pitch for unity at a time when there have been reports of violence against minorities - including Hindus - in Bangladesh, Muhammad Yunus, the head of the interim government, visited a temple, met Hindu leaders and said the rights of everyone should be ensured, irrespective of religion. 

After visiting the Dhakeshwari National Temple in Dhaka on Tuesday, Mr Yunus, who is a Nobel Peace Prize awardee, also urged people to "exercise patience" and judge his government on the work it does. The Nobel Laureate had taken oath as the head of the government in Bangladesh last Thursday, three days after prime minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign in the face of widespread student protests.
