Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Pirs were spiritual leaders who lived in large areas of the Bengal region. They were so popular in this region that even their shrines could be found across Bengal. The existence of Pirs has an interesting story behind it. It was the time in the 16th century when people from Western Bengal migrated to the southeast of Bengal in search of fertile regions.

This assurance was given by Pirs, who were treated as spiritualistic persons with Supernatural powers.
