Water Resources Minister and BNP Joint Secretary General Shahid Uddin Chowdhury Anee has said the people reject those who seek to create social unrest by misinterpreting Islam, adding that the development work carried out during the government’s first six months in office is unprecedented.
He made these remarks while attending an introductory meeting of the Mohila Dal in the Charshahi Titarkandi area of Chandraganj Upazila on Thursday afternoon.
“Can a political party’s only job be holding rallies and processions forever? They must work for the country’s development, social progress, and religious well-being as well. We must work to curb the misinterpretations of religion and the spread of misleading information in society,” said Anee addressing party leaders and activists.
The minister further said that the target destination must be reached by handling many adverse situations.
Anee said the country would have to overcome many difficult situations to reach its target. He urged everyone to remain united and extend their fullest cooperation, regardless of their positions, to navigate the challenges ahead.
“Therefore, regardless of where we are, our responsibility is to navigate the coming days by maintaining unity among ourselves through all-out cooperation. Irrespective of party affiliations, we will try to strengthen the foundations of democracy in the country,” he added.
“Today, we have come back to normal life. Even three years ago, we could not have imagined gaining such life, but we have achieved it. Holding onto such life is now key. To keep it up, we fought a political battle in the past. Now, we will move forward in the battle of life”, Anee added.
Anee said normal life has been restored, something that could not have been imagined even three years ago. He stressed that preserving this normalcy was essential, adding that while a political struggle had been fought in the past, the focus must now shift to the struggle for livelihood.
Among others, BNP leader and Vice-President of the Bangladesh Football Federation Wahid Uddin Chowdhury Happy, Upazila BNP President Belal Hossain, District Mahila Dal President Sabera Anwar, and General Secretary Fatema Akter Sumi also addressed the meeting.
