A letter, signed by the Chattogram Puja Udjapan Parishad’s President Lion Ashish Bhattacharya and General Secretary Hillol Sen, was issued by the parishad on Friday afternoon (11 October).

That is why the Chattogram city unit of the Bangladesh Puja Udjapan Parishad in an emergency meeting decided to expel Sajal permanently, read the letter.

Puja Udjapan Parishad General Secretary Hillol Sen confirmed the matter.
