Bangladesh on Tuesday strongly condemned the recent abhorrent act of desecrating a copy of the Holy Quran yet again in the Netherlands by a far-right activist.
“Bangladesh expresses grave concern over repetition of such heinous act in the Netherlands within a month’s time in the name of ‘right to protest’, ‘freedom of expression’ or ‘human rights’,” said the Foreign Ministry in a Statement.
Bangladesh once again urged all concerned to put an end to such unwarranted provocations and to respect the sacred values and religious symbols of the Muslims - for that matter of all religions - for the sake of harmony and peaceful coexistence, it added.
