Bangla Press Desk: BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury on Saturday has pledged to constitute a commission to ensure free and transparent journalism.
“Journalism in Bangladesh was completely devastated during the fascist era. BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman has always been vocal in favour of independent journalism. A commission will be formed to ensure press freedom if BNP returns to power,” he said.
Speaking at a seminar titled ‘Journalism during fascist regime and present situation’ at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU), he alleged that the ruling Awami League has destroyed journalism in Bangladesh over the past 15 years.
Khosru mentioned that many journalists were forced to leave the country as they could not survive in the hostile environment, while others abandoned the profession altogether. “I personally helped a few journalists go abroad since they could not sustain themselves here,” he added.
