Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus holds a dialogue with the religious leaders at Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka on Thursday (December 5) afternoon.
"We are not enemies to each other though we have differences of opinion," Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus has said.
He made the remark while speaking at a dialogue with the religious leaders at Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka on Thursday (December 5) afternoon.
Referring to his visit to Dhakeswari Temple in Dhaka on the occasion of Durga Puja, the chief adviser said Durga Puja was celebrated with festivity in the country while people from all strata joined it, turning the event into a national festival.
Now, the issue of attacks on minorities has come up again and the foreign media are publishing news on it, he said, adding that there is a gap of information between the reality and the news published by foreign media.
"We want to know the accurate information and want to establish the process of getting the information," he added.
Noting that as citizens, all the people of the country have equal rights, Prof Yunus said the responsibility of the state is to ensure the people's rights guaranteed by the constitution.
He said if any incident of attack on minorities takes place in the country, information must be collected immediately on such incidents and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
The chief adviser stressed taking measures to create an environment to prevent such incidents and ensuring immediate remedy for victims.
"I think most of the people of Bangladesh agree on what I have said," he added.
Leaders of the Muslim, the Hindu, the Christian and the Buddhist communities joined the dialogue.
