Local Government, Rural
Development and Cooperatives Minister Md Tazul Islam today said communal and
anti-liberation forces are engaged in destroying the country's all achievements by
creating communal violence, reports BSS.
"Today, the country is a role model of development for the world as all Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and Christians are working together. But, the country's enemies are trying to destroy this unity and communal harmony," he said.
The minister came up
with the statement while addressing a seminar titled "50 years
achievements in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector and future
plans", said a press release.
Marking the country's
golden jubilee of independence and birth centenary of Father of the Nation
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Local Government Division (LGD) organized
the seminar at Hotel Sonargaon in the city.
Noting that
unprecedented developments have been achieved in all sectors, including
education, health, food, water, security, infrastructure and communication,
Tazul urged all the people of the country to be united and resist the
conspirators.
Speaking about the WASH
programme, the LGRD minister said unparalleled development has taken place in
the sector. The government is now working with a specific plan to attain the
