At an anniversary event of CRAB, Jamaat leader Ghulam Parwar lamented the decline of fearless journalism in Bangladesh. “The greatest crisis today is the absence of courageous journalism—the ability to call white, white and black, black,” Parwar said. He stressed the importance of conscience, noting that no matter what excuses one makes, “the sting of conscience cannot be avoided.” He described organizational anniversaries as opportunities for inspiration, self-reflection, and renewed commitment. Looking ahead, Parwar expressed hope that responsible journalism will support the journey toward a new democracy after the recent mass uprising. Also speaking at the event, NCP leader Mushfiq-us-Salehin said, “We expect factual and objective reporting from journalists. Freedom of expression has returned after the uprising, and truthful reporting can help us reform. Yet, the media remains under state agency control.”
