Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said his constituency Rangunia is one of the peaceful areas of the country and none would be allowed to create any anarchy there.
“If anyone tries to create anarchy, they would be resisted instantly. Every people in the area should remain careful about it,” he said.
The minister said this while virtually addressing from Dhaka the biennial conference of Rangunia Upazila Puja Udjapan Parishad held at Ranguniya Upazila Parishad Auditorium.
The information minister said religion is a personal affair, but the festival is universal. People of every religion live together in Bangladesh which earned freedom with the blood of the people of all religions, he added.
Urging the Hindu community to remain alert so that no one can destroy peace in his constituency, Dr Hasan said: “This country is yours . . . the soil of the country is yours. We will resist the person who will try to create anarchy.”
He said a particular family had ruled Rangunia upazila for a long time and minorities were always subjected to their repression before all elections.
“Their followers are still active in Rangunia and everyone should remain alert against them,” he said.
The minister said the next election is on the doorstep. Many developments have taken place in the upazila during the last 15 years.
He urged all to project the development activities before every people of his constituency.
