Bangladesh Christian Association on Saturday demanded punishment of the perpetrators involved in the attacks on Christian priests in different parts of the country.
The Association’s members came up with the demand from a human chain in front of Jaitya Press Club protesting the recent attacks on pastors.
Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Oikya Parishad General Secretary Advocate Rana Dasgupta, its presidium member Hubert Gomez, Bangladesh Christian Association Secretary General Nirmal Rozario and its secretary Hemanta I Corraiya, among others, spoke on the occasion.
On the issue, Nirmal Rozario said if the government can not stop perpetrators and attacks on foreigners it would create questions about the country’s secular identity.
He urged the government to provide security to the Christian community members living and working in the country.
