National Citizen Party (NCP) Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary has blamed the home minister’s failure for putting Liberation War Affairs State Minister Ishraq Hossain in a difficult position following his anti-drug drive.Ishraq Bhai has recently started working in politics in a new way. His intentions were good; he wanted to stop drug-related activities. But he fell into a trap because of the home minister’s failure, Patwary said.He made the remarks while speaking to reporters after exchanging Durga Puja greetings at Dhakeshwari Temple in Dhaka on Monday morning.The problem lies with the home minister. Why did Ishraq Bhai have to face gunfire? The home minister makes mistakes, and someone else suffers the consequences. This is essentially the home minister’s failure. Ishraq Bhai got caught in the middle, he said.Raises concerns over Hindu community’s securityPatwary also questioned the security situation of the Hindu community under the BNP government.He said assurances had been given that the government would ensure the safety of everyone, including Hindus, but members of the community were not doing well.The BNP government has failed to provide them with proper security, he said, adding that data cited over the past three to four months had also indicated incidents of vandalism in several places.Calls for dialogue over Jagannath University incidentReferring to the cow-slaughter incident at Jagannath University, Patwary said the issue had been brought to his attention so that he could convey the concerns to the public.He urged members of the Muslim community to remain mindful of the feelings of Hindus and avoid actions that could cause them distress or hurt their sentiments.Please do not label me the ‘new version of Shahbagi Hindus’ for saying this. They asked me to convey their message to you. They love you, and you love them too. I have simply delivered their message, he said.Patwary called for dialogue between the two communities to resolve misunderstandings, saying both sides were willing to sit together.He expressed hope that discussions would help clear up the misunderstandings and strengthen communal harmony.
