Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury stated that the level of freedom currently visible on Facebook and other social media platforms was not present during Sheikh Hasina’s tenure. He made the remarks on Sunday afternoon at the World Trade Center in Chattogram after a meeting with law enforcement officials. Chowdhury cautioned that freedom does not mean spreading false information or creating confusion.
Responding to a question, he said shutting down Facebook or the internet is no longer acceptable and that action would be taken against anyone attempting such measures. He emphasized that everyone should be able to write and express opinions freely. According to him, journalists previously operated under restrictions and lacked the courage to question the Home Minister, but that situation has now changed.
Chowdhury also commented that the law and order situation in Chattogram surrounding the election remains stable, with the army, Border Guard Bangladesh, and police working in coordination to prevent any disorder.
