Later, he called upon the Hindu community to keep patience and remain united.
"In our democratic aspirations, we should not be seen as Muslims, Hindus, or Buddhists, but as human beings. Our rights should be ensured. The root of all problems lies in the decay of institutional arrangements. That is why, such issues arise. institutional arrangements need to be fixed," he added.
Dr Yunus said: "We are going to build such a Bangladesh which would be like a family. This is the main thing. There will be no question of creating difference or division in this family. We are Bangladeshis."
He assured the Hindu community that if justice is established, all will be able to avail its benefit.
"Is there any scope to see who belongs to which religion, caste and community? ...there are same laws. Who have the ability to create division here?" the chief adviser questioned.
Urging all to help the interim government, he said all Bangladeshis have the equal rights and they deserve it as per the country's constitution.
"You should demand it to all government...we are same people, same rights. No difference could be created here," Dr Yunus said.
He urged all to cooperate with the interim government to establish the rule of law in Bangladesh.
“Please help us to establish that, have patience, and judge later whether we could do that or not. If we can not do that, then blame us. That is the main thing,” he said.
