The BNP has tarnished the image of the press club: Information Minister

The sanctity and dignity of the press club has been ruined by gathering like the office of Mirza Fakhrul’s political party in the National Press Club, said the Minister of Information and Publicity and Joint General Secretary of Awami League Dr. Hasan Mahmud.

He said this while exchanging views with journalists on contemporary issues in the meeting room of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting at the Secretariat on Monday afternoon.

Dr. Hassan said, “There can be pro-government or anti-civil society discussion meetings in the press club. But the way the rally is held in front of the office in Naya Paltan, it is not appropriate to make the press club a meeting place like what the BNP did on Sunday. ‘

The Information Minister said, ‘Press Club is an organization of journalists. It is a national institution. It is not appropriate to hold a rally in front of the office of a political party. Mirza Fakhrul Sahib has done it. I personally think that it has ruined the sanctity and dignity of the press club. ‘

Awami League joint general secretary Hasan Mahmud responded to the BNP’s call for the overthrow of the government like the mass uprising of the nineties “We have been hearing about mass uprisings for 12 and a half years since the formation of the government in 2009. The fate of every human being has changed due to the development of the last 12 and a half years. When the BNP is in power, it will again carry out petrol bomb politics, detonate bombs in 500 places, make the country a champion in corruption again and Shaikh Abdur Rahman, Bangla Bhai, will create these so people will never come down for the BNP. The BNP is daydreaming. ‘

“BNP leaders have often said that national unity must be established, but the unity they have achieved has shattered like a balloon,” he said. “There are no more than eight or ten parties in the 20-party alliance that they formed a long time ago,” he said.

The rest of the group fled. I will tell Mr. Mirza Fakhrul that they need to prepare for the next election by focusing on managing their own house instead. ‘

Replying to a question on digitalization of cable operating system, the Broadcasting Minister said, “It was decided in the last meeting with all concerned that Cleanfeed will be implemented from October 1. In the same meeting, they said that cable operating system in Dhaka and Chittagong has gone digital. They can digitalize. We are committed to this digitization. If that happened then the whole media would benefit. ”

In the context of the right of Bangladesh to deal with Corona in the Nikkei report of South Asia. Hassan said, “The way the Prime Minister has controlled Corona in this country has been praised by the World Health Organization. Earlier, various newspapers and international media have praised the Prime Minister’s response to this corona. I think all the experts, including Mirza Fakhrul , who have been criticizing this issue for so long, need to know what they have to say about it. ‘
