C T Online Desk: Member of Parliament for Chittagong-9 Constituency and Deputy Education Minister Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Naufel visited the pujamandap of Kotwali, Baklia, Chawkbazar, Panchlaish and Sadarghat on Mahashtami of Autumn Durgotsava.
At this time, he said, Honorable Prime Minister, People’s Leader Sheikh Hasina has given her autumn greetings to the Sanatani community.I have come to you to convey the autumn wishes of Bangabandhu’s daughter. Traditional Bengali traditions and culture are mixed with Durga Puja. Along with religious festivals, Durga Puja plays an important role in creating mutual solidarity and unity among the people of the country. May the autumnal Durgo Festival shine with the light of truth and beauty. I wish that the bond of harmony and amity among all irrespective of caste and religion should be strengthened.
Durga Puja is not only a religious festival but also a social festival. On the occasion of Durgotsava, relatives, friends, family, neighbors, regardless of caste and religion, gather together in joy and celebration. So this festival is universal. This universality proves that religion belongs to everyone, festival belongs to everyone.
He said, when BNP was in power, they systematically attacked and killed traditional communities. Due to communal attacks, many of the Sanatan community have even left the country. But if Bangladesh Awami League and Hon’ble Prime Minister Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina are in power, people of all religions are safe, they can perform their religious ceremonies safely. Autumn Durgo Festival is actually a plot by radical fundamentalist groups to create communal violence. The government has made all kinds of preparations to counter the communal evil forces and Bangladesh Awami League leaders and activists are always on the streets to prevent and expel them.
Hon’ble Prime Minister Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina has directed the administration to ensure that the traditional community can celebrate Durgo Festival safely. You should celebrate Sharadiya Durgotsav fearlessly, undisturbed and unhesitately..
Councilor Abdur Salam Masum, Nurul Alam Mia, Nilu Nag, Rumki Sengupta, Farhadul Islam Rintu, Education and Research Secretary of Chittagong Metropolitan Puja Celebration Parishad Rahul Das and others were present during the visit
