Join Polls, Stop Arson Attacks: Momen To BNP

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Saturday urged the BNP to publicly apologize to the people and expel the persons involved in recent attacks, destruction of assets, and burning of properties and buses.

“Join the elections, stop arson attacks and destruction of properties,” he urged the BNP leadership.

While talking to reporters after attending a program, Momen said BNP should expel those people who are involved in recent attacks.

Apart from brutally beating one policeman to death, the BNP supporters attacked the residences of the Chief Justice and other judges, torched police outposts, and set fire to dozens of buses, Police Hospital premises, and ambulances causing disruption of emergency medical services, Momen earlier said.

He said the BNP did not spare on-duty journalists and camera personnel. The BNP activists attacked and critically injured at least 25 media professionals. Bangladesh Federal Journalist Union (BFUJ) issued a note condemning such activities.

Earlier, the Foreign Minister joined the launching ceremony of Unimart, the premium superstore in Bangladesh and a subsidiary of the United Group. It is the first flagship outlet outside Dhaka at Ambarkhana Point in Sylhet.

This purpose-built shopping destination offers all its popular brands under one roof – Unimart, Chef's Table, Crisp, Indulge, and the pharmacy chain Well Being.

United Group Chairman and Managing Director Moinuddin Hasan Rashid, and CEO of Unimart Murtoza Zaman, among others, attended the inaugural ceremony.

This one-stop destination covering about 100,000 square feet and located in the heart of Sylhet city will offer the signature quality assurance of Unimart with a wide range of local and imported products._UNB
