Home adviser for revealing truth against Indian media’s propaganda

Lieutenant General (retd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, the adviser for home affairs and agriculture, has urged reporters to expose the lies propagated by the Indian media.
 
“No unstable environment has been created in the country. The Indian media is carrying out widespread propaganda and misinformation about Bangladesh,” he said and urged journalists to weigh the truth against the Indian media’s propaganda.
 
After visiting the tomb of Shaheed Abu Sayeed, a martyr in the anti-discrimination student movement, and speaking with his family at Babanpur village of Pirganj upazila in the district, the adviser made this statement to reporters today.

According to the expert, only journalists who expose the truth can put an end to the Indian media’s deceptive propaganda.

“I request our journalists to tell the truth and publish the truth. Then those who are spreading propaganda will get lime ink on their faces,” he said. 

 
The advisor said, “Abu Sayeed’s heroic story cannot be ended by telling. So far, three accused have been arrested in the Shaheed Abu Sayeed murder case. We will start the hearing of this case as soon as possible.”
 
“If journalists can identify the other accused who are roaming around and our police can identify them, they will definitely be brought under the law. None of the accused will be spared under any circumstances,” he said.
 
When the adviser was asked why the law and order situation in the country is not normalizing, he said, “For example, even after a storm, it takes some time to repair your affected house. We also need some time.”
 
Compared to earlier, the situation has somewhat improved. It will progressively become better.
According to the advisor, he is unaware of any plans to ban ISKCON. Journalists will be aware if such a plot exists.

According to him, the victim will undoubtedly be released if someone is harassingly involved in the case.

“We will bring those, who are filing false cases around the movement, under the law,” he said.
 
The Home Affairs Adviser said, “We all have to work together for the development of the country. Everything will become normal if we work together.”
 
At this time, BGB Director General Major General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui, RAB Director General AKM Shahidur Rahman, Bangladesh Police Rangpur Range DIG Aminul Islam, Rangpur Police Superintendent Mohammad Sharif Uddin and senior officials of the local administration were present. 
 
The Home Affairs Advisor had earlier visited Shaheed Abu Sayeed’s grave, asked about his family, and given out winter clothing to the area’s cold-stricken residents.

At the Rangpur Police Lines School and College auditorium in the afternoon, the Home Affairs Adviser held a discussion with police representatives from the respective district units of Rangpur division, Rangpur Metropolitan Police, Rapid Action Battalion, BGB, Coast Guard, Ansar and VDP, Fire Service and Civil Defence, Immigration and Passport, and Narcotics Control Departments.

Later, at the Department of Agricultural Extension’s office of the Additional Director of the Rangpur region, he discussed his opinions with representatives of other ministries under the Ministry of Agriculture.
