Religious advisor. AFM Khalid Hossain said, this country belongs to all of us. It is also the responsibility of the people of all religions to protect and brighten the image of the country. On Thursday (October 10, 2024) afternoon, on the occasion of Sharadiya Durga Puja, the advisor said these things in a greeting speech to the assembled devotees and worshipers after visiting the capital’s Banani Pujamandap. The religious advisor said, we are like a family. We all have equal constitutional rights.

We have to be careful and responsible so that the image of the country is not damaged. The religious advisor also said that all kinds of security measures have been taken to ensure the smoothness of the autumn festival. Necessary instructions have been given to the police, Ansar-VDP, Army, Navy and Air Force for the security of the Pujamandap. Besides, a control room has been set up in the Ministry of Religious Affairs. If any miscreants attack the worship hall or vandalize the idols, they should be arrested and handed over to the law and order forces. The government will provide maximum punishment to these miscreants as per existing law. The adviser also said, our hearts are narrow.

We are all very self-centered. We cannot place others in our hearts. We need to enlarge our hearts and expand our vision. We should promote mutual amity and harmony.

But the current government has allocated four crores this year. The government has taken all possible measures to ensure that the people of Sanatan religion can celebrate Sharidiya Durgotsav with religious fervor and fervor.

Dr. Khalid said Bangladesh is a diverse country with people of many religions and tribes. If a garden has different types of flowers, the garden becomes beautiful and diverse. Bangladesh is also diverse with a mix of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Jains and ethnic minorities. We want to cherish this beauty. We want to strengthen mutual amity and harmony.
