He said that autumn Durga Puja is the main religious festival of Bengali-speaking Hindu community. Durga Puja has been celebrated in this subcontinent for a long time in a joyful atmosphere.
This festival expresses the joy of all people regardless of wealth and status, connecting different communities in different ways. This festival is an eternal universal festival of Bangladesh. Festivals are the meeting ground of all people in the nation-state. The theme of the festival is peace and harmony. The scope of the festival is not circular but broad and universal.
BNP Secretary General said that people of all communities have been living together in Bangladesh for thousands of years. Religious festivals transcend communal boundaries and bring together all people irrespective of caste and creed into a larger community of goodwill. Communal harmony is part of our national heritage. We all are Bangladeshis, this is our pride, and this is our only identity. I wish you all the success of Sharadiya Durga Puja.
