BD model of communal harmony: Adviser

Religious Affairs Adviser Dr AFM Khalid Hossain on Monday said Bangladesh is a model of communal harmony, emphasising the unique environment of interfaith tolerance that sets it apart from its neighbouring countries, reports UNB.

Dr Khalid made the statement while inaugurating the Dhaka District Workshop 2025 on the Role of Temple-Based Child and Mass Education Programme in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals and Promoting Moral Education' at Bishwo Shahitto Kendro in the capital.

"The harmony among different religious communities in Bangladesh is unmatched in the region," he said.

Dr Khalid referred to instances of violence against religious sites, citing attacks on temples and shrines, particularly following the July revolution.

He stressed these incidents were more politically motivated than religious in nature and urged the need to combat international propaganda surrounding such events.
