Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has expressed his desire for a country where the army, police, and RAB can also take time off during festivals like Durga Puja, rather than being deployed for security. Following the ouster of the Awami League government on Aug 5, several measures have been taken by the caretaker administration amid numerous concerns about this year's Durga Puja celebrations. The chief advisor said, “We are celebrating Durga Puja with the help of the military, police, and RAB. However, we must work towards creating a state where they too can enjoy holidays, where we can all celebrate together.”“We should not have to rely on the sacrifice of their holidays for us to enjoy ours. Yunus concluded, "We will build such a state—a dream state—where people can take pride in their country before the world.”
