On the occasion of Janmashtami, Dr. Taher extended greetings to the Hindu community and assured that anyone under the banner of Jamaat who mistreats or harasses people of other faiths will face strict action. He added, “You should not live in fear. We are here to ensure your safety. We will work to make Choudhgram a model upazila of communal harmony.”

The meeting was chaired by Choudhgram Upazila Jamaat Ameer Mahfuzur Rahman, with Secretary Belal Hossain serving as moderator.
