However, Hasina could have easily kept her promise when she came to power as there was no risk of any Opposition party objecting to it. Some say Hindus are no longer her vote bank, so Hasina does not bother about their security.
This was not even done when the country was under Pakistan's regime. She even removed the works of non-Muslim writers from school-college textbooks to include only those of Muslim writers. Hasina has donated thousands of crores of rupees to Islamic parties, equating madrassa degrees with university degrees. Sheikh Hasina did not build any science schools, did not encourage science education, did not expand science academies, but she took all measures to make people religious fanatics. READ | Attack on Hindus: Never seen such incidents, say Bangladeshi Hindus in India Despite knowing everything, Hasina's government did not try to stop the preaching of jealousy and hatred. Efforts to incite hatred against Hindus, Buddhists and Christians in the minds of Muslims are going on in the mosques and madrassas. The fundamentalists have brainwashed the new generation by saying that non-Muslims are infidels and they do not believe in Allah. Prophet Muhammad broke the idols of the infidels, so it is the religious duty of Muslims to follow the Prophet's ideals and make the country free of non-Muslims. They consider the demolition of Hindu temples as part of jihad. Their jihad is mainly against women and non-Muslims, especially Hindus.
These extremists have started brainwashing the new generation with the mantra of jihad. She has allowed extremists to hold religious gatherings across the country. Hasina has "Islamicized" the country more than that done by the BNP. Through this, she has tried to prove that she is more religious than the opposition Jamaat-e-Islami and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Most of these mosques and madrassas are jihadi factories. She has built mosques and madrasas despite there being sufficient mosques in the country.

However, she has not kept any of her promises after coming to power. She also promised to bring equal rights for women and formulate uniform civil rules. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina won the election by a landslide by promising to bring back the secular Constitution of 1972, by promising not to mix religion and politics and ensure the rights of minorities. Since the 80s, Bangladesh's rulers have been working to build an Islamic society by pushing the country away from secularism.
