JASHORE, March 5, 2021 (BSS) – State Minister for Local Government, Rural
Development and Cooperatives Swapan Bhattacharjee has called for quelling
communal forces strongly.
“We cannot give them the opportunity to lead the country. This evil force,
who opposed independence of Bangladesh in 1971, tried to make the country
inactive through plotting many things and that’s why they killed Father of the
Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman,” he said.
The state minister said these while addressing the biennial council of
Bangladesh Puja Udjapon Parishad Manirampur upazila unit at Manirampur
Upazila Parishad Auditorium here yesterday.
“Bangladesh has set an example of communal harmony under the leadership of
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The government has quashed with iron fist the
evil attempts to create communal hatred in the country and would do that in
the future too,” Swapan Bhattacharjee added.
Presided over by acting president of Manirampur Upazila Puja Udjapon
Parishad Tulsi Das Basu, the council was also addressed, among others, by
upazila Awami League president and city mayor Kazi Mahmudul Hasan, Upazila
Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Syed Zakir Hasan and Jashore District Puja Udjapon
Parishad President Asim Kumar Kundu.
