Poet, essayist and political commentator Farhad Mazhar said, those who don’t want to let Bangladesh be formed in a new way. They say we want elections now. We want to form a government now. They have looted for 15 years, we will also loot for 15, 20 years. This is the situation. They are not allowing us to do our work. So be careful about them. We want to form a new Bangladesh. Whatever anarchy, whatever chaos is happening everywhere in Bangladesh, they have a hand in it and the defeated force, the Awami League, also has a hand in it. We should have the wisdom to understand this.

He said these things as the chief guest at the 57th Swaranotsab and Lokaj Mela annual Urs of spiritual saint Abdul Qadir Shah Rah of Ashuganj, Brahmanbaria on Saturday (February 22) night.

Meanwhile, he mentioned the vandalism of various shrines across the country and said, the words of those who destroyed the shrines have no resemblance to the words of our Prophet (PBUH). These are foreign enemies. After the mass uprising in our country, they are destroying the shrines to re-establish Delhi's subjugation. They are misleading you. If we are not careful, then Delhi will take our country under Delhi's control again. They are Israeli agents.

About the law and order situation, Mazhar said, there is no police, no law enforcement force. In comparison, there is no country in the history of the world where a country of 17 crore people is still living in peace and order.

Regarding the attack on the book fair, he said, the incident that happened at the book fair and at the Bangla Academy was planned. Because when the publisher who published the book of a writer was asked that the writer is not for the people of Bangladesh, he is for the BGB of India and we do not want to promote her book at our national book fair. Those who want to destroy and occupy my country cannot publish their books. That is what they wanted to say. Then the publisher did not remove their books and gave the slogan of Joy Bangla. And they showed arrogance on behalf of the defeated power. Even after that, no such incident happened there. A class of people are demanding on behalf of India and that writer. This is not an argument about the freedom of writers. This is an argument about whether or not to allow the books, theories, and thoughts of those who are enemies of the people of the country to be published.

People from different classes and professions participated in the annual Ursh of Abdul Qadir Shah Rah's 57th Swaranotsab and Folk Fair. In addition, famous artists of the country performed Lalon, Baul, and Pala songs throughout the day. At this time, Abdul Qadir Shah Rah's devotees were present.
