State Minister for Religion Md Faridul Haque Khan has said that a group is working to destroy the atmosphere of harmony in the country to hinder the development progress of the country. As part of this, in recent times, during Durga Puja, the Hindu community was attacked on various pretexts.
Many of the people involved in these heinous acts have already been brought to justice and will be brought to justice soon. The government will do everything possible to ensure an atmosphere of harmony in the country.

To this end, the local administration of the government, political leaders and leaders of various religious organizations will work together to stabilize the harmony between all.
