On the night of December 18, the two top media outlets of the country, ‘Prothom Alo’ and ‘The Daily Star’, were created by a group of miscreants in the office of the two, which is located in the capital's Kartan Bazar, the incident of arson and attack was deeply worrying and strongly condemned. The Print Medica Association (PMA), Tangail, is also being published by the organization of the attack and arson on the offices of two top cultural organizations in the country. And being protested.
The president of the organization. Zobadd Mallick Bulbul and General Secretary Abu Zubazal said, "We think that such barbaric attacks and arson in the newspaper office will not only hurt free journalism, but it is a tremendous threat to the country's democracy and the rule of law. The constitutional power of both of them is not acceptable in any way to stop a news organization through mob volance.
We are also deeply concerned and strongly condemned the incidents of attacks and arson in the office of the cultural organization. I mean, this kind of violence in the place of practice of art and culture is an extreme obstacle to the development of free thinking and healthy culture.
The leaders of the Print Midita Association said, ‘If anyone disagrees with the news or editorial policy, it has opened a solution legally or through negotiation. But setting fire to the workplace and endangering the lives of workers is clearly a criminal activity. Attacking the artists’ creative work in a civilized society is by no means acceptable."
The Printa Medita Association is strongly demanded by the government to quickly identify the people involved in this disgusting incident and bring them under exemplary punishment. At the same time, the law enforcement agencies are called upon to ensure the safety of the media and journalists.
We believe that it is not possible to suppress the voice of the media by fear or attack, but it is not possible to stop the practice of art and culture.
