"For the Hindus there were relatively good times, like the first five years of the republic, average times like the period of Awami League rule in the late nineties up to September 2001, and the brief rule, in 1991, of temporary President, Mr. Justice Shahabuddin Ahmed. There were bad times like the period of Ziaur Rahman’s, or his widow Khaleda Zia’s rule, or Ershad’s rule around the time when he declared Islam to be the state religion. And there were horrible, abysmal, worse-than-Pakistani times like the period when there was a Writ Petition filed in the Calcutta High Court against the Qur’an, when the disputed structure in Ayodhya, often referred to as the Babri Mosque of Ayodhya, India, was demolished by Hindus, and after Khaleda’s Bangladesh National Party (BNP)-led coalition came to power in October 2001."
