The US has appealed to Bangladesh to protect the rights of its minority communities in the wake of increasing attacks on the Hindu minority community after the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina

Chief Counsellor Prof. Muhammad Yunus urged the international community to engage with a new Bangladesh that aims to ensure freedom and democracy for all 'so that we can emerge as a just and inclusive democratic society'

The US Agency for International Development will provide Bangladesh with USD 202,25 million in aid under the Development Objective Grant Agreement focusing on three key areas: good governance, social and economic opportunities, and resilience

A public notice will be issued to forcibly trace missing persons by members of the police force in decision of a commission of enquiry set up for this purpose

There have been many attacks against the Hindu community, the largest religious minority, which have increased after the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, but have also been exaggerated by a widespread disinformation campaign
