Liberation War Adviser Faruk-e-Azam (Bir Pratik) has emphasised that Durga Puja is not tied to any specific religion rather it is a universal festival that is celebrated by people from various backgrounds.
He noted that there is a heightened sense of enthusiasm among worshippers participating in the puja festival this year, reports BSS.
He also mentioned that the government, in collaboration with the administration, is actively working to ensure that the Durga Puja celebrations are organized smoothly and beautifully. The advisor shared these views with journalists during his visit to the J.M. Sen Hall Puja Mandap in the city on Tuesday afternoon. Faruk-e-Azam emphasized the importance of preserving images of worship from various puja mandaps on mobile and other media to create a collective picture.
He highlighted the government’s efforts to address key issues such as education, health, law and order, and the economy.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining a fair environment for all during the Durga puja celebrations. Regarding the upcoming national election in February, the advisor expressed optimism about the participation of all citizens in the electoral process.
He emphasized the importance of fulfilling civic duties and highlighted the potential for a new government to be formed through the democratic process, with the support of the people.
