DHAKA, Oct 1, 2025 (BSS) - Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md Mahfuj Alam today said that the fair demands of the Hindu community can be fulfilled in phases, as the present interim government is working to implement their legitimate rights.

"The upcoming government will also be mindful of fulfilling the rightful demands of the Hindu religious community," he said.

The adviser made these remarks while addressing the Durga Puja celebration at Dhaka University's Jagannath Hall this afternoon.

Extending Durga Puja greetings to the Hindu community, the adviser said their traditions are an integral part of the nation's history. 

He emphasized that the history of Bangladesh reflects the unity and joint struggle of Hindus and Muslims.

Mahfuj Alam reaffirmed the government's commitment to building a multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-traditional Bangladesh while maintaining communal harmony.

He said that this year's Durga Puja is being celebrated in a more colorful and festive atmosphere compared to last year, noting that the government has taken effective measures to enhance the festivities. 

He also thanked all concerned, including members of the Hindu community for supporting peaceful celebrations.

Criticizing the former Sheikh Hasina government's brutal actions during July uprising, the adviser alleged that people were killed by helicopter gunfire under the orders of the then prime minister.

He called for cooperation from all communities to build a discrimination-free, developed Bangladesh.

The event was attended by Education Adviser Professor Dr. Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar, Dhaka University Political Science Professor Tasnim Siddiqui and members of the Durga Puja celebration committee.

Later, the adviser visited the Dakeshwari Puja Mandap and exchanged greetings with members of the Hindu community.
