  rediff.com: Khaleda Zia wooing Hindus in Bangladesh
Notwithstanding the BNP's close ties with fundamentalist Jamat-e-Islami, Begum Zia paid a visit to the famous Dhakeshwari temple in Dhaka on Wednesday evening -- her maiden visit to a Hindu shrine -- and urged the Hindus to extend all-out support to the BNP in the coming poll.
Ironically, Begum Zia, who had in 1996 parliamentary elections campaigned that Bangladesh would be part of India if the Awami League was voted to power, was quoted as telling the Hindus on Wednesday evening that they "change their attitude once in favour of the BNP".
It was during the her prime ministership that around 3,000 temples in Bangladesh were damaged, many women raped and properties of Hindus destroyed following the demolition of Babri Mosque in India in December 1992.
