He made the remarks as chief guest at the inauguration ceremony of Durga Puja at the Trinayani Puja Mandap in Shankharipara of Lakshmipur municipal town on Friday (16 October) night.
The minister said, in the past there were 171 days, 72 days and 73 days of hartal. Those who spoke of paralyzing the country through hartal and blockade, today's opposition party is their ally. He called upon everyone to remain vigilant in this regard.
He further said, political battles must be ended and now we must move forward in the struggle for life. Everyone must live with dignity by ensuring peace, harmony and civic rights in the country. Noting that like the ruling party, the opposition party also has moral responsibilities and commitments, he raised a question: how much responsibility has the opposition party fulfilled after taking responsibility, and why long marches and road marches are needed.
The event was presided over by Lakshmipur Municipal Administrator and President of the Municipal Mahasmashan Ghat Council Samrat Khisa; the special guests were District Police Superintendent Md. Abu Tarek, District BNP Joint Convener Hasibur Rahman, BFF Vice President Wahid Uddin Chowdhury Happy, President of District Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council Shankar Majumder, President of District Puja Celebration Council Swapan Chandra Nath and local leaders.
