BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has urged people of all faiths to remain vigilant during the upcoming Durga Puja celebrations to thwart any attempt at communal violence.

He warned that vested groups sometimes exploit festivals to incite unrest by sowing mistrust and division for political gain.

“Any conspiracy, provocation, or sabotage must be defeated,” Fakhrul said, calling on BNP leaders, activists, and like-minded parties to act as guardians of peace and coexistence during the festivities.

He also directed BNP activists to function as watchful sentinels at puja mandaps to ensure safety and harmony.
