Strict action if worship places harmed, religious sentiments hurt: Religious adviser
Strict action will be taken if religious sites of worship are harmed or religious sentiments are hurt, Religious Affairs Adviser AFM Khalid Hossain said today.
The adviser issued the warning while visiting a centre of the "Temple Based Child and Mass Literacy Programme" installed at the Krishnananda Temple in Cox's Bazar.
Joining a discussion there, he highlighted that honesty, fairness and love— these values must be spread in society. "Bangladesh is a nation that belongs to people of all faiths, and all should contribute to the country's development."
