Members of Bangladesh’s Christian community formed a human chain in the capital on Tuesday, demanding a one-day public holiday on Easter Sunday, a significant religious festival for Christians in Bangladesh. Leaders and members of the Christian community, under the banner of the Bangladesh Christian Association, formed the human chain in front of the National Press Club at 11 am. Priests and representatives of Christian organisations also participated. Speakers said Easter, the most significant day in the Christian calendar, continues to fall on a regular working day in Bangladesh. As a result, many are forced to manage religious observance alongside work commitments. President exchanges greetings with Christian community leaders
