Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan, Youth and Sports Adviser of the Interim Government said, earlier we have seen that whenever any important public issue came up, the Awami League government diverted our attention by inciting communal riots or communal divisions. In other words, they tried to use religion for political purposes.

He said these things during an exchange of views with the officials of Youth Development Department and District Sports Organization at Satkhira Deputy Commissioner's conference room on Friday (October 11) night.

He said communal harmony is the beauty of Bangladesh. However, there are many quarters who try to destroy communal harmony.

Asif Mahmud said, you have to play the most responsible role to maintain communal harmony in Satkhira. Many wanted to destroy communal harmony. We will not allow that from now on. For this reason, maximum security has been ensured by the government during Durga Puja this year. However, the public has an opportunity to make a contribution in ensuring security. You will also touch there.

He said that politics has influence in the sports field of Bangladesh. We are working on depoliticizing sports so that it does not become politicized like in the past. A person can have a political identity, but not influence the sports field.

Deputy Commissioner of Satkhira Mostaq Ahmed, Superintendent of Police Mohammad Monirul Islam and related officials were present in the meeting.
