Objective journalism?

The Daily Star published a photograph on the back page of its February 22 issue, showing the Islami Chhatra Shibir offering Asr prayer by closing a part of the road in front of the Muktangan. This is objective journalism. But such objective journalism was not seen in your daily when the Awami League, BNP, and myriad of other parties and organisations held meetings at the same venue by closing the same part of the road.

I am writing this letter just to point out the difference between claims and reality, as practised by so many other organisations and individuals in Bangladesh. My only regret is that DS is no exception.
