Bangladesh Attorney General Proposes Removing ‘Secular’ from Constitution

Bangladesh’s Attorney General has called for dropping the word “secular” from the constitution, citing the nation’s 90% Muslim majority. The move has raised concerns about minority rights, particularly for Hindus, who have faced increased violence since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster and Muhammad Yunus’s rise to power.

Critics fear this could formalize discrimination against Hindus, sparking national and international outcry. The world watches as Bangladesh debates its constitutional and religious identity.
