Hindus form party in Bangla
In Bangladesh, a new political party called the Bangladesh Minority Janta Party (BMJP) has been formed.
This party wants to represent Hindus and other minorities in the upcoming elections.
The party's president, Sukriti Kumar Mandal, says they will contest 91 out of 300 seats in the national parliament.
They hope to win between 40 to 45 seats.
The party is focusing on areas where minorities make up a significant portion of the voters, ranging from 20% to 60%.
