BSS, Dhaka:

Home Affairs adviser Brigadier General (Retd) M Sakhawat Hussain today said the government has taken optimum measures to ensure security for minorities.

“No one will be spared if he or she assaults or tortures any people of minority groups. Legal action will be taken quickly. Optimum steps have been taken for the security of minorities,” he said, adding police stations along with law enforcement agencies have started working.

The home adviser said this at a meeting with International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Bangladesh at his ministry office in Bangladesh Secretariat here, said a press release.

Noting that Bangladesh is a country of communal harmony, Shakhawat said, “I have grown up together with people of all faiths since childhood and there was no difference”.

“We don’t want any clash, conflict and violence. We believe in peace,” he added.

ISKCON Bangladesh, including its President Satya Ranjan Baroi (Shudhasatha Gobinda Das), General Secretary Charu Chandra Das Brahmachari (Chandi Das Bala), Treasurer Jotyshar Goura Das (Joty Prokash Ray), Public Relations Division Assistant Director Bimal Kumar Ghosh (Bimla Prasad Das), Food for Life Director Amani Krishna Das, Executive Committee Member Sudarshan Jagannath Das (Sukanta Chakroborty) and ISKCON National Crisis Committee Member Jugdharma Das (Jubraj Gop) were present at the meeting.

In the meeting, ISKCON Bangladesh President Satya Ranjan Baroi presented the history of the journey of the organization and described its various activities.

He requested the home adviser to take security measures of minorities on the priority basis.

Besides, Baroi placed an eight-point recommendation, including enacting laws, formation of monitoring cells, formation of minority commissions, ensuring round-the-clock security of temples, to ensure security of minority communities.

The home adviser assured the ISKCON Bangladesh delegation of extending utmost support to this end.
