Mayor of Chittagong City Corporation and former divisional organizational secretary of BNP Dr. Shahadat Hossain said that people of all religions including Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians live in Bangladesh. People of all religions have equal right to practice their religion. I want to build a beautiful Chittagong together with all of you. I hope you will be my companion on this journey.
He said these things while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion meeting and distribution of gifts among traditional communities on the occasion of “Autumn Durga Puja 2024” at Rahmatganj JMsen Hall premises in the city on Thursday (October 10) under the initiative of Bangladesh Puja Udjar Parishad.
He said, our leaders and activists are keeping vigil at night in every worship hall. You have nothing to fear. This Chittagong will be safe Chittagong, Chittagong of prosperity and Chittagong of harmony. With all of you, I want to give the gift of a terror-free Chittagong.
He also said that those who do terrorist activities will be brought under the law. None of us will take the law into our own hands. Let me know if you have any problem, I will be by your side. BNP has always stood by the protection of religious minorities. BNP stands shoulder to shoulder with the Hindu community as in the past. A circle based on autumn festival wants to sit outside the country and hurt our society. We will not allow communal harmony to be destroyed in any way. Those who try to destroy communal harmony will be resisted. We will move forward by destroying all kinds of conspiracies. We will all work together to build a new Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Pooja Udjab Parishad, Chittagong Metropolitan President Lion Ashish Kumar Bhattacharya presided over the discussion meeting organized by Bangladesh Puja Udjab Parishad, Chasik Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain also said, calling on everyone to be careful to avoid any unpleasant incident during the worship. Shahadat Hossain said that the people of the country could not hold any festival independently for the past 17 years. The life of the people of this country has been spent in extreme hostage situation. The festival started after the fall of the fascist Hasina government on August 5. The nation has been freed from hostages. Today the autumn festival has become a liberation festival.
He said, under the guidance of BNP Acting Chairman Tariq Rahman, we have extended our helping hand to every place of worship. All Hindus are citizens of this country. Apart from law and order forces, people from BNP and Anga organizations are always engaged in the security of the Puja Mandap. None of you are weak. BNP leaders and workers are by your side and will always be.
