Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival for the Bengali Hindu community, has now come to a close. There were attempts by some nefarious quarters to create communal unrest through such activities during previous Durga Pujas to allegedly gain a political advantage. On Thursday, an organisation named 'Chattogram Cultural Academy' performed two songs at a cultural event organised at the historic JM Sen Hall by the Chattogram Hindu community. After the performance, it came to light that the performance had been approved by Sajal Dutta, joint secretary of the Mahanagar Puja Celebration Committee. Undoubtedly, the Islamic and nationalist forces are now in a much stronger position in this new, post-uprising Bangladesh.
