Nahid Islam, the adviser for information and broadcasting, issued a warning today that any assault on journalistic organisations would not be accepted. “People are free to make accusations against any newspaper, but they must be made in a civil manner. “We oppose vandalism in newspaper offices and pressure to halt newspaper publication,” he said during a press conference held here. According to the information adviser, persons who engage in vandalism of newspaper offices will face legal repercussions and such incidents will not be accepted in the future. This evening’s regular press briefing took place at the Foreign Service Academy. Nahid claimed that at a protest held in front of the Prothom Alo in recent days, a certain amount of disarray was observed over the Daily Prothom Alo.
