Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that her government will repeal all laws and rules discriminatory to minority communities, including indigenous people.

“Our government believes in freedom of all religious faiths and equal opportunities for all,” Hasina told a visiting French military delegation Wednesday.

Hasina said the government would ensure protection of freedom of all religions and the minority groups’ freedom of expression in the country, United News of Bangladesh reported.
