Rural Development and Cooperatives Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said that media houses have become business-oriented, which he described as a matter of concern for independent journalism. He made the remarks on Sunday morning at a discussion meeting held at the Press Club to mark the death anniversary of Ziaur Rahman.
Fakhrul stated that the media no longer functions as a true media institution but rather as representatives of business houses. He criticized the culture of flattery within the media and urged journalists to stand against it. He expressed hope that journalists would use their freedom responsibly and assured them of his support.
During the event, the BNP secretary general also praised Ziaur Rahman for his contributions to national development, democracy, and Bangladeshi nationalism. He said that if Ziaur Rahman had lived another ten years, Bangladesh would have progressed further, and he described Tarique Rahman as carrying Zia’s legacy forward.
