Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday reaffirmed that the present government is committed to ensuring the equal rights of the people of all faiths. “The people of all religions are now enjoying freedom in performing their religious rituals as the government has ensured a peaceful environment,” she said. The premier said this when a delegation of the Christian community, led by Arch Bishop Patrick D Rozarion, called on her at her office. They greeted the prime minister on the occasion of the Christmas and said the people are enjoying the highest level of communal harmony under her able leadership. They informed the premier that the schools they have set up are running well and they are now planning to set up a university in the country. Hasina also greeted the Christian community on the occasion of X-mas. Recalling the dark chapter of atrocities carried out on the religious minorities during the BNP-Jamaat regime, she said BNP-Jamaat cadres not only attacked the AL supporters but also made attacks on the minority people.
