Senator Peters told Yunus that many Bangladeshi-origin residents in his constituency, including those in Detroit, Michigan, had expressed concerns over recent attacks on minorities. Reassuring the US senator, Yunus said his government is committed to upholding the human rights of every citizen, regardless of race, religion, gender, or social identity. The chief advisor invited Senator Peters to visit different cities and towns across Bangladesh to witness the state of religious harmony firsthand. Senator Peters also enquired about the interim government’s reform initiatives, key commission reports, and plans for free and fair elections.
