“It's not a good time. There's a demon here. The number of evils has increased. There is a threat of unrest here. We have to be careful to maintain peace in line with the advice of Shri Krishna,” he said.
“In the last 14 and a half years, it has been proved that as a ruler, in politics, there is no person closer to the Hindu community than Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Hindu brothers and sisters were safe when the Awami League was there,” he said.
“Now I'm afraid. If an evil force does anything ahead of the national elections in Bangladesh, which can cause a rift in our relations with Hindus or with India. So, we have to be more careful,” he also said.
