The bangladesh Jatiya Hindu Mahajote demanded 42 of the 350 parliamentary seats be reserved for minority communities and also sought a separate electoral system for all tiers of governance to establish "real representative democracy" and end deprivation of minorities in the country.

If the interim government of Muhammad Yunus does not accept the demand the Hindu community will not participate in any election. "We will not even go to polling stations," Pramanik said.

Mahajote president Dinabandhu Roy said: "Being a minority we are deprived of our rights and our demands are not heard. We hope govt and people of other religions look at us with a sympathetic eye."
