The newly elected president of the Bangladesh Canada Association of Edmonton (BCAE) Kazi Aurangzeb requested to stop feeling anger towards members of the community who have done something wrong, and to forgive and forget in the spirit of the creator, using the means of forgiveness as a conscious, a deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment toward the person who brought harm to an individual or the community. He appealed to everyone to follow the spirit of harmony.
