Elements that opposed Bangladesh's independence trying to undermine secular credentials, says foreign ministry

Dhaka, Oct 19 (UNI) The Bangladesh government has said “certain” quarters with vested interests are carrying out pre-meditated attacks on the minority Hindu community in the country to gain some “dubious political mileage”.
“It is regrettable that the local elements that opposed Bangladesh’s independence 50 years ago are still propagating their toxic narratives to instigate violence, hatred and bigotry,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
“They are trying to undermine Bangladesh’s secular, non-communal and pluralistic credentials in the international context by deliberately targeting one of the biggest religious festivals of the country. The Government appreciates the Hindu community for concluding the festivities in a befitting spirit and also welcomes the overwhelming show of solidarity by people in general.”
