Pirganj (Thakurgaon) Correspondent:

A youth festival 2025 was held in Pirganj, Thakurgaon, with the aim of making students bank-oriented. However, locals have expressed anger over the fact that Upazila Jubo League Vice President Abu Sadiq Palash was invited as a guest.

The festival was held on Monday afternoon at the bank premises as part of the customer service and financial literacy program initiated by Jamuna Bank Pirganj sub-branch. Branch manager Abdul Momin presided over the program. Jubo League leader Abu Sadiq Palash, Central School and College headmaster Ahedul Islam, bank official Saidur Rahman and many others spoke.

Locals complained that it is unfortunate to invite a political figure as a guest at a youth-oriented event of a reputable bank.

Branch manager Abdul Momin said in this regard, ‘I did not know that he was a Jubo League member. If I had known earlier, I would not have invited him as a guest.’
