Interim Government Leader Yunus visits Dhakeshwari Temple

Muhammad Yunus, head of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, visited the centuries- old Dhakeshwari Temple in Dhaka. During the temple function, he stated, ” We want to build Bangladesh in such a way where each and every citizen’s right will be ensured.” (Empty words from Muhammad Yunus. If he truly intended to protect every citizen, it would have been evident in his actions. – Editor)

Editorial Perspectives

It is shameful that a nuclear-armed nation like India has to make such a request. By now, India should have issued a stern warning and set a deadline for the Bangladesh Government to protect Hindus.

Since the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Government, Hindus have been unsafe in Bangladesh, and India has failed to take concrete action. When will India learn from Israel on how to protect its own people ?
