Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury stated that people are celebrating Eid with comfort due to the presence of a democratic environment in the country. He made the remarks on Saturday morning after offering Eid prayers at the Darus Salam Jame Mosque near his residence in Ward 10, North Kattali, Chattogram.

The minister extended Eid greetings to all and said that this year’s celebration feels different because citizens have regained a sense of ownership following the recent election. He emphasized that people are enjoying the festival with extra joy in a changed national atmosphere.

Chowdhury expressed hope that the country would continue to uphold this environment, allowing everyone to live freely, speak openly, and enjoy their constitutional, democratic, and political rights.
