Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan has said Durga Puja is not merely a festival of joy but also teaches people to uphold truth, stand against injustice and support the oppressed.

He made the remarks on Saturday evening while visiting the Amlapara Sarbojanin Puja Mandap in Narayanganj.

The minister later visited Ramakrishna Mission Ashram in Mission Para and enquired about the puja arrangements.

He said the slaying of the demon by Goddess Durga symbolises the defeat of injustice and the triumph of justice. He urged everyone to apply these lessons in society.

Highlighting Narayanganj's tradition of communal harmony, he called on people of all faiths to maintain peaceful coexistence.

Narayanganj-5 MP Advocate Abul Kalam, Narayanganj City Corporation Administrator Advocate Sakhawat Hossain Khan, Deputy Commissioner Md Raihan Kabir, Superintendent of Police Habibur Rahman and local puja organisers were present.
