Journalists in trouble
The incident in Chittagong Stadium was very shameful for the nation as a whole. It was also a threat against journalism and the status of our press media. In a democratic country like Bangladesh, how could the police behave so barbarically? The image of our country has been demolished with the attack of police on photojournalists. This is because there were lots of international journalists who got a bad impression about our law enforcement agencies. Again, we cannot imagine how a policeman could raise his hand on a very senior and renowned photojournalist. We saw how a law enforcer beat him up. There is no doubt that this was a black day in our history.
We cannot exist as a democratic country when such incidents take place.
