PM renews stance against religious terrorism

Asks Hindus to help law enforcers with info

UNB, Dhaka
Renewing her government's firm stance against terrorism in the name of religion, Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has said no religion supports terrorist acts.
"Help the law-enforcers arrest those who carry out terrorist activities, no matter what religion they belong to," she said while exchanging greet-
ings with the noted personalities of the Hindu Community on the occasion of Durga Puja at the International Conference Centre (ICC) yesterday.
The prime minister said the people of all faiths living in Bangladesh have one identity--Bangladeshis.
She urged all irrespective of religion and opinion to work together to make Bangladesh
FROM PAGE 1 self-reliant in all sectors so that--Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians --could stand together, raising their heads high with pride on the world stage.
Listing some successes Bangladesh achieved in social and economic sectors, the prime minister hoped that Bangladesh would become self-reliant in all sectors within 15 years.
Freedom fighter Maj Gen (retd) CR Dutta and Moharaj of Ramkrishana Mission Swami Akkharananda spoke on the occasion.
Mentioning permission to celebrate puja at Ramna Kali Mandir by her government and conducting survey to give land to Kali Mandir, she said those who had not taken initiatives in the past to do that are now spreading propaganda against communal harmony.
Referring to the steps taken by her government for the welfare of the Hindus, she said temple-based library project has been launched by her government.
Khaleda said those who are carrying out false campaign and hatching conspiracies are also involved in damaging idols so that Puja can not be celebrated here peacefully.
Referring to her government' s adequate security measures to ensure peaceful celebration of Durga Puja, she urged them to remain alert against any untoward incident and cooperate with the law-enforcement agencies to fend off any trouble.
In response to their invitation to visit Dhakeswari Mandir and Raman Kali Mandir, the prime minister said she will try to visit those at a convenient time.
Speaking on the occasion, CR Dutta expressed gratitude to the prime minister for her gesture to exchange greetings
and inviting them to attend the function.
He thanked her for her government's all-out efforts to ensure a congenial atmosphere for celebrating Durga Puja with due religious fervour.
Referring to a few incidents of damaging idols before puja, Dutta said credit also goes to the government as puja is also taking place in those areas after repairing the idols.
Appreciating the prime minister's gesture and initiative, Swami Akkharananda said, "We've been able to get closer through exchanging greetings it's very essential for our coexistence."
