Remain alert against conspiracies: Tuku
State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku yesterday urged all, irrespective of their faiths and beliefs, to work together to build an enlightened Bangladesh.
He made the call at a meeting organised by Sarbajonin Durgotsab Committee at Sutrapur in the city.
"All of us will have to remain alert to unlawful activities and conspiracies of the anti-liberation and communal forces who want to turn Bangladesh into a failed state," he said.
President of the committee Babul Kumar Saha chaired the function. Lawmaker from Dhaka-6 constituency Mizanur Rahman Khan Dipu, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner AKM Shahidul Haque, ward commissioner Haji Md Shahid and general secretary of the committee Lakkhikant Gowshami were also present.
The state minister said all citizens, irrespective of religion and caste, are enjoying full freedom in the country.
Bangladesh was liberated through the War of Liberation in 1971 under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman based on the spirit of secularism, he added.
"We would be able to build a Bangladesh dreamt by Bangabandhu if all of us, including Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Christians, work together," Tuku said.
Lawmaker Mizanur Rahman Khan Dipu said the Hindu community of the country would celebrate Durga Puja peacefully.
DMP Commissioner AKM Shahidul Haque said the members of the police force are working relentlessly to maintain law and order at all puja mandaps.
He also directed them to discharge their duties with sincerity and cautiously.
The state minister also visited different Puja Mandaps, including Mahapravu Akhra Mandir and Gabtoli Courtbari Mandap.
