Freedom Abused
An English daily of Dhaka had a front page two column news on the 8th October (09) that happened to be though a controversial witness deposition item made eleven years ago in the special one man session judge court but appeared here as if the witness made the statement yesterday before the Five Judges Bench in the Supreme Court Appeal Division.
Why did the daily publish the misleading news when we knew that the Bench had asked all concerned to keep restrain about making confusing and misleading news about the case now being heard at the Bench since the 5th October.
Was the matter anyway honest journalism? Or that was a sort of abuse and misuse of freedom of expression.
I am sure that the Bench and relevant authorities would take due note of the evil purpose of the news.
