Prime Minister Tarique Rahman yesterday sought cooperation from people of all religions to build a happy, prosperous and better Bangladesh.

“Let us all work together, regardless of religion or background, to build a happy, prosperous and better Bangladesh. People of all religions and communities must come forward for the greater cause of the country,” he said.

The prime minister made the call while exchanging Easter greetings with leaders of the Protestant Church at the Cabinet Room of the Prime Minister’s Office in the Secretariat, according to his Additional Press Secretary Atikur Rahman Rumon.

A 13-member delegation, led by Bishop Philip P Adhikari, president of the Federation of Protestant Churches in Bangladesh, met the prime minister around 11:45am and exchanged views with him on the occasion of Easter Sunday.

Addressing the gathering, Rumon said the prime minister wished success and prosperity for the Christian community.
