Sikder Group on Saturday issued a statement over the running of untrue and confusing news items by several newspapers on Group Managing Director Ron Haque Sikder securing bail in a case.
The statement said Sikder Group believes that Ron Haque Sikder has secured the bail from the court following all legal procedures and proper rules.
“Sikder Group has full respect for law. But a few newspapers carried imaginary and confusing reports in an ill motive to divert the issue in a different direction, which is not proper and acceptable in professional journalism,” it said.
In the statement Sikder Group unequivocally stated that the case in this regard is under investigation. “Considering anyone guilty before the investigation is fully unjust and immoral.”
Ron Haque Sikder is the son of Sikder Group Chairman Zainul Haque Sikder, a renowned freedom fighter and industrialist, who worked for the betterment of country through his entire life.
Zainul Haque Sikder died on Wednesday in Dubai while undergoing treatment.
“Now it is time for all to pay due respect to him (Zainul Haque Sikder),” the statement said.
The statement said, “Sikder Group believes that a vested quarter, envious of the Group’s success, is hatching conspiracy to tarnish its image. The untrue and confusing report regarding Mr. Ron Haque Sikder is part of that conspiracy.”
Sikder Group has urged all to refrain from running such false and fabricated stories.
