“It is a matter of great joy and a glorious chapter for the entire Bengali community. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recognized this. In a few days, we witness the Prime Minister's vision through this positive message. As a Bengali, I am very proud of this historic decision by the Prime Minister. I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi on behalf of the entire nation, including Bengalis, for the historic decision to recognize the rich cultural heritage of the Bengali language. This honor reflects the Prime Minister's deep sincerity towards the Bengali language and culture,” he said.
He further mentioned that small efforts, like the donation of clothes, are undertaken to bring smiles to the faces of mothers and sisters during the Durga Puja celebrations.
“It is an important part of social responsibility. Everyone rejoices during the Puja. This is a small effort to share that joy with all those who are our mothers and sisters. At the very least, it will bring a smile to their faces,” said Dr. Saha.
