?Bangladesh is being known as a country of peace and harmony once again where people of all communities can freely celebrate their religious festivals,? she said while addressing ?Holy Kathina Chibara Dana & Buddhist Religious Congregation-2011? at the International Buddhist Monastery in the capital.
The country has been established as a liberal democratic and economically prospective one. ?We work for the welfare of the people of all religions whenever we come to power,? Hasina added.
Islam is a religion of peace but some people are known as businessmen of religion and often confuse the people. The message of all religions is peace. Gautam Buddha had appeared in the subcontinent about 2,500 years ago and preached sermons about peace, the prime minister stated.
She further said Father of the nation Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had removed communalism and all sorts of religious disparity in article 12 of the constitution formulated within nine months after the independence of the country.
Then President Ziaur Rahman had spoiled the constitution to instigate fundamentalism and provided shelter for the anti-liberation forces, Hasina alleged.
The BNP-Jamaat alliance government turned Bangladesh into a country of extremism and tarnished its image abroad.
Many people have to die when the BNP-Jamaat alliance government came to power in 2001. Among others, Gayanjoti Bigku of Rawjan and Sujan Barua of Ramu have to die in 2001 during its regime.
