The Indian Express has published false reports as part of a well-organised propaganda campaign against Bangladesh and its interim government, Chief Adviser’s Press Wing said.
“As part of a well-organised propaganda campaign, The Indian Express newspaper on Friday ran several stories based on the accounts of fugitive Bangladesh Awami League leaders who are all crime suspects and are accused of murders and massacres,” it said.
The CA press wing said this in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page – CA Press Wing Facts – yesterday.
One such report is titled, “In hiding, Bangla Awami top brass connect with Hasina, wait for ‘rule of law’ to return” as it was full of false and misleading information without following the basic norms of journalism, the press wing claimed.
Quoting former Awami League MP Nahim Razzaq, The Indian Express reported that AL people are deprived of judicial rights and not getting bail.
Courts in Bangladesh are now functioning independently, which was evidenced by the fact that some of the former ministers of the Awami League regime, such as Saber Hossain Chowdhury and MA Mannan, were freed from jail as they were granted bail, the statement read.
The report quoted former AL MP and its Joint Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim as saying that they would be back home if the rule of law is re-established.বিস্তারিত
