The U.S. opposes any form of religious discrimination in processes occurring in Bangladesh, according to Matthew Miller

U.S. State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller stated that the U.S. opposes any form of religious discrimination in processes in Bangladesh. He made this remark during a press briefing in Washington yesterday in response to reports that 252 sub-inspectors of the Bangladesh police were dismissed from final recruitment, allegedly excluding all Hindu officers. When questioned about the State Department's stance on religious discrimination in the law enforcement hiring process in Bangladesh, Miller said, "I haven’t seen that report, but we obviously oppose any religious discrimination in any process in Bangladesh or anywhere else in the world."

When asked how the State Department collaborates with Bangladeshi authorities to promote inclusive and non-discriminatory hiring practices in public service, he replied that he had nothing further to add beyond his previous comments.
