State Minister for Religious Affairs Advocate Sheikh Md Abdullah said communal harmony across the country will be protected at any cost.
“Communal harmony is a desired subject in the current world while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is committed to maintain communal harmony in the country. As per the premier’s directives, we will protect it with the support of all,” he said.
Abdullah said this on Sunday while addressing the 83rd meeting of Buddhist Religious Welfare Trust (BRWT) at the Religious Affairs Ministry’s conference room in the
Secretariat here, said a ministry press release.
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had laid the foundation stone of non-communal Bangladesh by incorporating the principle of secularism in the country’s constitution, he said, adding Bangladesh is now being built as an ideal country of communal harmony under the leadership of his (Bangabandhu’s) daughter.
BRWT Vice-Chairman and State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism Md Mahbub Ali said the government wants to build Bangladesh as a civilized country by ensuring welfare and security of the minor religious communities. “We are working to build the 2041’s developed country, declared by the Prime Minister, by establishing communal harmony in the country,” he added. The meeting decided to distribute the grant of Prime Minister’s fund equally among the 2,085 registered temples across the country, marking the Buddha Purnima.
BRWT Trustee Basanti Chakma, MP, and its Vice-Chairman Supta Voshon Barua were present at the meeting, among others.
