The BGMEA would like to point out that Umme Salma, the woman in the picture, is not an RMG worker but a machine supplier. She has sued the managing director of the factory for not paying dues and threats by goons on Tuesday, which contradicts The Daily Star's statement that she had filed a case back in October.

 

BGMEA officials spoke to her personally on Tuesday and confirmed that this woman had been in business with the Gazipur factory, Green Sweater, which is not a BGMEA member.

 

The BGMEA expects that newspapers would publish reports based on valid information. It does not benefit anyone to unduly tarnish the image of Bangladesh RMG industry because of a misrepresented isolated case.
