Quader calls for eliminating communal force
DHAKA, Aug 23, 2019 (BSS) – Awami League General Secretary and Road
Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today called for eliminating
communal forces from the country, terming those as the enemies of Bangladesh.
“The present government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is minority
community friendly government. As long as this government is in power,
minority communities don’t have to worry about their security,” he said.
Quader came up with the observations while addressing a function organised
to inaugurate Janmastami procession in capital’s Palashi intersection area
this afternoon.
Presided over by Mahanagar Sarbajonin Puja Committee president
Shailandranath Mazumder, the function was further addressed by Dhaka South
City Corporation (DSCC) Mayor Sayeed Khokon, Dhaka Metropolitan Police
Commissioner Md Asaduzzaman Miah, Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad president
Milon Kanti Datta and genereal secretary Nirmal Kumar Chatterje, among
others.
“We have a fantastic relation with neighboring India. Prime Minister
Narendra Modi of India has invited Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to visit his
country. I hope we will be able to take our existing mutual constructive
partnership to a new height through the upcoming visit in October,” Quader
added.
DSCC Mayor Sayeed Khokon said as the country is moving forward financially
under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the country and its
people are also progressing from the social, cultural and religious aspects.
“People irrespective of caste, creed, sex and religion in the country are
enjoying religious freedom. The kind of communal harmony, which is prevailing
here, is exemplary to all,” he added.
