Donald Trump: Bangladesh.

Ms Saha: Yeah. Still, there is 18 million minority people. My request is: Please help us. We don’t want to leave our country. Just help, Mr. President.
I have lost my home. They burned my home. They’ve taken my land. But no adjustment has taken place.

Donald Trump: Who took the land? Who took the home and the land?

Ms Saha: The Muslim fundamentalist group. And they are — always they are getting the political shelter. Always.
