Anniversary of attempt on

The Workers Party of Bangladesh will observe on Sunday the 16th anniversary of the attempt on the life of its president, Rashed Khan Menon.
The party, on the occasion, demanded that the culprits involved in the plot be brought to book.
On August 17 in 1992 gunmen opened fire on Menon when he came out of his party office on Topkhana Road at Segun Bagicha in the capital. Menon was first admitted to the Combined Military Hospital in Dhaka and then flown to London for treatment. He returned home on January 9, 1993 after undergoing treatment in a Bangkok hospital.
The party expressed its resentment at the government’s failure to arrest the persons involved in the attack on Menon.
The party has chalked up programmes to observe the anniversary as ‘anti-terrorism day’.
The city committee of WP will hold a discussion meeting at its central office in the capital Sunday to mark the day.
