Re: [mukto-mona] Durga puja at Bogra Dutta bari

Nice try Mr. Q. Rahman. You are trying to give a secular color to the communalism of a small group of money hungry social criminals. I am sure they would not do it to an Islamic jalsa.

Bogra, Oct 09 (UNB)-Durga Puja celebrations at Datta Bari in Bogra town are not becoming possible this year as an influential quarter has arranged gambling at the site where the Hindus had been celebrating the festival for the last two decades.

 

A local Juba League leader having clout of the influential quarter has set up a parking lot at the traditional Durga Puja mandap site for the motorcycles of those who come her to attend gambling, including housy, at a place beside.

 

The incident has created a sharp resentment among the local Hindu community members.

 

It is learnt, local Ekata Sangha had been arranging Durga Puja celebrations in the open place of Zila Mahila Krira Sangshta close to Dattabari Loknath mandir (temple) for the last 20 years.

 

But this year they could not make any arrangements for the highest religious festival of the Hindus here for the space shortage created by the gambling spot.

 

Sources said local Juba League leaders and workers obtaining permission from the High Court have been conducting gambling at the south side of Dattabri Loaknath Mandir for the last two months.

 

For the illegal occupation of the place for motorcycle parking it has not become possible for the local Durga Puja Udjapan Committee to set up the puja idols there.

 

The Hindu devotees here requested Ekramul Huq Mithu, an organiser of the gambling, to shift the motorcycle parking spot elsewhere, but in vain.

 

Mithu rather asked them to seek solution about this from district Jubo League president Manjurul Alam Mohan.

 

But when they brought the matter to Mohan's notice, he categorically said there would be no puja arrangement at the place this year.

 

Bogra District Puja Celebration Committee president Amrit Lal Saha said with permission from Mahila Krira Sangstha, Ekata Sangha had been arranging puja festival at Dattabari for the last 20 years, but they could not arrange the same there this year for the motorcycle parking of the gamblers.

 

Ekramul Huq Mithu, however, said they set up the motorbike parking spot at the Mahila Krira Sangstha's place, not at the puja site.

 

Besides, none of the Hindu community people met him regarding the matter.

 

"But even at their request, it would not have been possible to remove the parking lot," he added.
