DHAKA, Oct 1, 2025 (BSS) - BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman today extended warm greetings to the Hindu community on the occasion of Sharadiya Durga Puja and Vijaya Dashami, a major Hindu festival celebrated annually at the conclusion of Durga Puja.

In his message, Tarique Rahman said, "On the occasion of the biggest religious festival of the Hindu community, Sharadiya Durga Puja and Vijaya Dashami, I extend my sincere greetings and congratulations to all followers of the Hindu faith. I wish them peace, happiness, and well-being."

He highlighted the country's tradition of religious harmony, saying, "For generations, people of different religions in this country have practiced their faiths with great enthusiasm and harmony. This is the beauty of Bangladesh's traditional religious, social values, and culture."

Emphasizing the responsibility of every citizen to ensure the safety of others, BNP Acting Chairman said, "In a Bangladesh free of fascism, it is the natural duty and moral responsibility of every citizen to contribute to the safety and dignity of their fellow citizens. It is just and rightful to resist those who seek to destroy society and human civilization through oppression and vengeance, and who aim to establish misrule."

He called on law enforcement agencies to remain vigilant, adding, "I urge the law enforcement agencies of the country to stay alert and proactive so that no one can disrupt communal harmony or attempt to create insecurity during this Sharadiya festival, as was seen under fascist regimes."

Encouraging the Hindu community to celebrate Durga Puja with enthusiasm, joy, and confidence, he said, "Celebrate the festival across the country with enthusiasm, joy, and a sense of safety. Spread the message of harmony and goodwill."
"My party BNP and I firmly believe -- religion belongs to individuals, but the state belongs to all. Religion is personal, but the right to security is universal," he added.
