The interim government has strongly condemned the attacks on shrines in the country over the past few days.
Efforts are underway to bring the unscrupulous forces involved in the attacks to book and initiate stringent legal actions against them, a statement said on Saturday.
The law enforcing agencies have been instructed to take adequate measures to protect the religious shrines and cultural sites, according to the statement.
"Bangladesh is a country of communal harmony and peaceful coexistence of all beliefs for thousands of years. We are stating in unambiguous terms that we will remain a country of harmony and any attempts to disturb religious or cultural tolerance and harmony will be strongly dealt with without discrimination,” the statement reads.
