We are all Bangladeshis. We all have to be vigilant so that the Kuchkri Mahal does not cause any untoward incident around this festival.

They also said, along with our sense of responsibility, we are working on security and traffic congestion to help the local administration. If everyone is united, all conspiracies will be foiled in this country.
