Zakir Hossin, Pirojpur: Pirojpur-1 Constituency MP Masud Sayeedee has alleged that an anti-state group has long been trying to destroy the peaceful environment of Pirojpur and destabilize the district, which is known for a century-old tradition of communal harmony.In a statement issued Monday, he strongly condemned the vandalism, arson and theft of money at Pirojpur Municipal Cremation Ghat. He claimed the incident was not isolated, but part of a larger conspiracy to make Pirojpur restive.Sayeedee pointed to several recent incidents as evidence of the plot: the attack on a former public representative in Shankarpasha Union, attacks and looting at Parerhat Fish Port, and the abduction of a businessman. He also expressed concern over open displays of weapons, spread of drugs, and what he called the “lack of visible role” of law enforcement agencies in controlling crime.He further alleged that a certain group is taking advantage of police inactivity to worsen the law and order situation in Pirojpur. He criticized the current government for failing to control law and order.The MP urged the administration and law enforcement agencies to quickly investigate, identify the perpetrators and take legal action against them.“We want to build a Pirojpur where no Muslim has to guard his mosque, and no Hindu has to worry about the security of his temple or place of worship,” he said. “People of all religions and communities will live with equal security, dignity and in an environment of harmony.”He added that peace, harmony and coexistence will be Pirojpur’s identity, and no evil force will be able to tarnish the district’s reputations.
