State Minister for Religious Affairs Alhaj Advocate Sheikh Md Abdullah yesterday said that the Ramu locality of Cox’s Bazar is the best example of non-communal Bangladesh as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

“Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims have been living together in the Ramu locality of Cox’s Bazar for thousand years, which is a unique example of religious harmony for not only Bangladesh but also for the whole world,” he said.
