BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has issued a strong call for harmony and vigilance during the upcoming Durga Puja celebrations. Rahman, speaking yesterday, emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and preventing any attempts to instigate communal tensions or compromise the security of the festivities.

With Durga Puja, one of the most significant religious festivals for the Hindu community, drawing near, Rahman’s appeal underscores the need for a secure and harmonious environment where everyone can celebrate freely. He specifically addressed the law enforcement agencies, urging them to be extra vigilant and proactive in safeguarding the celebrations.

Rahman stressed that any effort to disrupt the peace or create divisions within the community must be thwarted. He highlighted the potential for unscrupulous elements to exploit religious occasions to sow discord and undermine social cohesion. Therefore, he believes a heightened state of alertness is crucial to preempt any such attempts.

The BNP Acting Chairman's statement reflects a broader concern about maintaining communal harmony in the country. Durga Puja is a time of joy, community gatherings, and religious observance, and Rahman emphasized that it is the responsibility of all citizens, especially those in positions of authority, to ensure its smooth and peaceful conduct.

By calling on law enforcement to be vigilant, Rahman aims to send a clear message that any attempt to disrupt the celebrations will not be tolerated. He believes that a proactive approach is essential to prevent incidents that could tarnish the spirit of the festival and create unnecessary anxiety among the Hindu community and the broader population. His appeal serves as a reminder of the shared responsibility to protect the rights and safety of all citizens during times of celebration and beyond.
