BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said to the members of the Hindu community of the country, “You are no less than anyone. You are citizens of Bangladesh. This country is your homeland. Political can be different, the party may be different, but the rights are equal to everyone. We are also ready to give life to protect that right. '
Mirza Fakhrul said this while addressing the chief guest at the unveiling of the blade of Sri Sri Saturni temple in Kalibari in Thakurgaon city on Wednesday. Regarding the past harmony of his city, he said, 'It seems today, I am one of you. I have never grown up as a Hindu-Muslim. We did not have the walls of division in that society. My PC (Fufu) was the only sister of my father, loved me like a boy because he had no children. I lived in his house overnight. Be it storm, winter – I used to go. Muktar Binod Babu lived in the house next to the PC. His son Mukul was a friend of my life. We didn't go to school yet. Mukul's mother used to worship in the evening. I and Mukul were waiting for the wind to sit on the stairs of the worship room. '
BNP secretary general said, “We have never thought about who is Hindu, who is Muslim in the society. Thoughts Babu, Doctor Debesh Babu, Foni Da, our teachers, friends, Natyaguru – all were part of a tradition. The people of Ashlampara and Ghoshpara in Thakurgaon city, organizing worship, drama trials – all together, the atmosphere was extraordinary. '
Referring to the time of the Great War of Liberation, Mirza Fakhrul said, 'The rebellion has begun. We took some guns out of the university and took shelter at Buluda's house at Ashrampara in the city. The news spreads, Pakistan is sending the commando to kill us. Push at the door in the deep night. Everyone looked at the rifle. Open the door, I want to get a big ramchagal! This incident still remembers today. '
Recalling the jail in Islampur, India during the war, the BNP leader said, “Some of us told us,” What do you do in India? ” Immediately Buluda said, “We do not share Hindus and Muslims, we are freedom fighters.” Later, the one who came to the Islampur police station came to get me out of the Hindu community, my friend, my brother. This was our relationship. '
Mirza Fakhrul added, 'We have never seen you separately, we will not see in the future. My peace is your peace; My danger is your danger – we are on the way with this consciousness. Not for division of our politics, but to be one, to break the walls of divisions to build a Bangladesh of love and faith. '
