Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser to the interim government’s Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and Water Resources, said that no government would dare suppress journalists if professional journalism is established. She made the remarks on Monday at an event organized by the July Revolutionary Journalists’ Alliance (JRJA) at the National Press Club.
Hasan emphasized that journalists may have personal political views, but objectivity must guide their work. She noted that the constitution guarantees freedom of speech, expression, press, and association, and journalists should uphold these rights while working within the legal framework. She added that disagreements among journalists are natural, but the key is to ensure objective reporting. Analytical differences are acceptable as long as the reporting remains factual.
Regarding lawmaking, she said that draft laws related to broadcasting have been opened for public opinion and will be revised based on reasonable feedback. Hasan further stated that democracy is not established solely through elections and that journalism is a vital pillar in protecting it. She urged journalists to overcome allegations of shifting loyalties through professional best practices.
