Chief Justice

Sir,
President Iajuddin Ahmed yesterday appointed M M Ruhul Amin as the next Chief Justice (CJ), superseding Justice Mohammad Fazlul Karim, the most senior member of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court after the incumbent CJ. We thought this would not happen again, especially with a neutral caretaker government. The nation is always against the superseding of judges.

Re: [chottala.com] Making sure that the changes are stable - ACC can help CTG with the dillema

 

feedback@pmo.gov.bd

On listen the BBC news & reading the news papers it seems that the time is advancing forward for this CTG to prove whether CTG is lawfully efficient to do its all lawful reformation works to conduct lawful Fair & Neutral Election or to sounder to the unlawful demands of the musclemen politicians.

The dialogue talking of CTG with the politicians has given the chances to know the character of the politicians. According to the demands of the politicians to the CTG as the dialogue talking agendas it seems that they are not interested to do lawful politics to follow the lawful system of democracy & to show respect on the procedures of judicial trials.

It means that they are self declared people representative politicians all people are under their choice & command. 

The politicians are not under the system of lawful democracy not under the system of lawful administration not under the procedures of lawful judicial verdicts & not under the control of constitutional law.

They are only under their supreme leader their leader either good or bad is not the question they can do any thing & can say any kind of word for their leader if needs they can break they can burn they can destroy any property of the people even if need they can destroy the country & can destroy its economy 

They are so Royal to their leader & leadership that the country may go into hell the people may throw into the economic disaster people may be jobless food less everything less that is not problem but their leader & leadership must keep uphold must hold above the problems of the people above all beyond the rules of law above the country's sovereignty.

Does have Idea this CTG to face this unlawful political disaster in the country????

Making sure that the changes are stable - ACC can help CTG with the dillema
The current interim government is implementing a lot of reforms, taking many decisions that was unimaginable for a long time and we are hoping these changes will pay divident for the nation in coming days. But there is a IF. Government is also aware of the IF. The IF concerns the stability of the system in the new state. Any social or political changes needs time to make the adjustment for a changed policy. However, the changes that are being implemented in the last two years, these are proving too much for our politicians and traditional elites of the society. So the concern of IF points to the concern that weather it will reverse.
 
Off course, if things reverses, it will have a degenerative effect on the social progress - as opposed to the regenerative effect that many of us are expecting. The concern becomes more serious when one thinks of the implication of that effect on our lives of corrupt politicians. Certainly, that would pave the way for many of jailed or absconding politicians a promise of good old days which is dangerous for the society. Before going into the detail of our topic today, lets take a look at the scorecard of current government.
 
Someone in another forum listed the scorecard of this government as follows:
 
Some of their successes:
#1. National ID
#2. Voter List
#3. Chittagong Port
#4. Separation of Judiciary
#5. Development of Dudok, EC, PSC
#6. Arresting Godfather & Godmothers
 
 
Some of their failures:
#1. Failure to control commodity price
#2. Failure to clean corruption from own organs like police
#3. Failure to give comfort to the honest businessman
#4. Failure to estabilish strong allegation against the Godfather and Godmother held behind the bar.
#5. No control over power sector and trasnport sector
#6. Failure to focus on reduce the widespread "vejal" in consumers goods (we add this)
#7. Failure to making the mess in private universities at a manageable level (we add this)
#8. Failure to introduce a merit and performance based promotion criteria in public service including the co-opting senior buerucrats from the private, semi-government sectors by introducing a separate selection body for policy making level (we add this)
#9. Failure to declare the elected posts competitive with other jobs with similar stress by declaring them as professional posts (we add this)
#10. Failure to act decisively to capture and punish the alleged war criminals by holding tribunals (we add this)
 
The #1 and #10 failure are a result of many factors including deficiencies in timely actions of the government and its perceived risk-averse nature, inexperience and lack of understanding of politics, among many others. However, all other failures can be traced to or generalised as one single failure. That is the government's explicit or implicit decision to leave the major part of the buerucracy out of scope. In other words, the top bosses at the secrertiats are holding on those reform proposal by using a number of tactics. Any lay person can imagine that the favourite tactic of these culprits will be delay things as long as possible - long enough to expire the tenure of the government. And their counterparts in the political parties are making sure that govermnet has a solid expiry date and they have done it very well from the very beginning. Why? A number of factors have led to this situation. The government of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed is also aware of this. But what they are doing about it? Or are they doing anything?
 
To our judgmement, this is one of most important policy decision that this government is facing. How to balance the need of doing enough vs. doing too much?
 
So far, it seems the government has made a policy decision about not touching the buerucracy (or touch minimally). They are hoping that this policy would help the system to maintain stability over the near term. 50 ministers needs 50 secretaries - isn't it? They are ready to catch all the 50 ministers, but not all the 50 secretaries. Why? Also, since they do not want to touch the 50 secretaries, they will not be able to convincingly prove any of the cases against the ministers. And that is the real problem as far as long term stability is concerned. CTG is actually hurting the stability - if they decided not to touch bureacracy for the sake of stability! A dillema - isn't it?
 
This policy - if it were taken conciously - has also weakened the overall stability. How - would you ask? Let us clarify.
 
The degeneration - if that happens - would start with the relatively weak cases being pursued against the political leaders. Some of these cases are so weak that it might give a perception that the cases are politically motivated - as opposed to the criminal cases as they are being projected now.
 
How did that happen?
 
Since government did not engage the corrupt members of the buerucracy to the full extant, there was not much option but file weak cases. A minister does a corruption with the help of a secretary OR the prime minister did a corruption with the help of a cabinet secretary. Now if those secretaries are still part of the government, how could a strong case be made against the politicians.
 
We are not sure the merit of this compromise in the context of national interest. Its true the burecracy is important for continuity of the policy changes, but that should not come at the cost of 'wrong perception' of politically motivated cases. If you give 13 years to a minister for corruption in a certain ministry, that should implicate the secretary of the same ministry for at least 7 years - general people would expect that.
 
This is a balancing act that government has to re-assess again. No policy decision should be static - all should be addressed dynamically. The only thing that should stay as static is the long term good governance of the country, national interest and goodwill of the general people of Bangladesh. Anything - that increases the possibility of long term good governance of the country, it should not left un-addressed.
 
So, is there anything specific that we are proposing for the government to do, as we usually do in our articles? Yes, we want to propose something. But unlike many of the articles, this particular proposal isn't for the government, per se. It is for the ACC. We hope when the ACC government returns from the much needed personal time-off for him, he would focus on to do some stretching - show some teeth. ACC should unearth some new cases or evidences that creates chasm for the government. Embarrass the government - lets see how it deals with that. We hope Mr. Chairman will do justice to his reputation. We all have two opposing side in our character. In this context, it can be safely said that Mr. Chairman wasn't selected to the Army Chief position during his service to the nation for the reputation of being straight-forward, to the point and honest. To the political government, it was his natural tendency to oblige seniors to the fullest extant which made you an attractive choice. Now is the time to prove this perception wrong. Show some evidence of your reputation that exists among general people and general soldiers. The position that you accepted as ACC chairman does not have any use of your qualities of following order. This position needs your other qualities which is being straight forward, being to the point and being honest. Now is the time - the nation will be watching!
 
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence. 
 
Thanks for your time,

Re: [chottala.com] A Dangerous statement- Be alert Dear Bangladeshi

Mr Mahatir,

This is 100% wrong, I think you do not know the meaning of terrorist and corruptions if terrorists kill your any close relatives. If you cannot running or start the business for demanding money of terrorist. If you cannot do anything without the paying money to any Government office. What you will do, If you cannot get justice from police department, even you are in right position and instead of helping you police department helps the terrorist? If you have a land but you cannot start the building work for terrorist. If you cannot stay in your own house due to terroist attack

What you will do?

So, Pls. Pls. don't support the so-called politics and their activities.

Thanks,

Shahid

Corruption is not the main problem of Bangadesh, not the terrorism. In spite corruption in the last 15 years Bangladesh made noticable progress. but in the 1.5 years due to the inefficiency of susil supported , millitary helped CTG Bangladesh has gone back 10-15 years. Thus   this CTG has proved that not corruption but inefficiency is the main problem of Bangladesh.

 and Bangladesh has controlled well the terrorims by some hot headed people like Bangla bhai.
 
So we need to be aware of the statement of US embassedor.
 
Last but not least, corruption is not cause it is symptom, symptom of poor managment , poor managemnet of  power, time and human resources. We should not treat the sysmptom , we should treat the cause.
 
Our focus should be to improve managment of power, time and human and natural resources.
 
If we can improve managment of these things, corruption will diminsh eventually.
 
 Running after corruption will give zero result that CTG has already earned.
 

 

দুর্নীতি ও সন্ত্রাসবাদ বাংলাদেশের প্রধান সমস্যা নয় মিঃ মরিয়ার্টি

চট্টগ্রাম অফিস

চট্টগ্রাম বন্দরে আয়োজিত সংবাদ সম্মেলনে আমেরিকান রাষ্ট্রদূত জেমস মরিয়ার্টি Ñযাযাদিযুক্তরাষ্ট্রের নবনিযুক্ত রাষ্ট্রদূত জেমস এফ মরিয়ার্টি বলেন, দুর্নীতি ও সন্ত্রাসবাদ বাংলাদেশের অন্যতম প্রধান সমস্যা। এর বিরুদ্ধে অভিযানে সাধারণ মানুষের সমর্থন একটি জরুরি বিষয়। সাংবাদিকরাও এক্ষেত্রে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করতে পারেন। সন্ত্রাসের বিরুদ্ধে লড়াইয়ে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র ও বাংলাদেশের মধ্যে দৃঢ় সম্পর্ক রয়েছে। এ সহযোগিতা আমরা আরো বাড়াতে চাই। এ জন্য আমরা সিভিল সোসাইটির সঙ্গেও একযোগে কাজ করতে আগ্রহী। তিনি দুর্নীতি ও সন্ত্রাসের বিরুদ্ধে তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকারের বিভিন্ন অভিযানের প্রশংসা করেন।
গতকাল সকালে চট্টগ্রাম বন্দরের চার নম্বর জেটিতে আয়োজিত সংবাদ সম্মেলনে সাংবাদিকদের এক প্রশ্নের উত্তরে তিনি এসব কথা বলেন। এর আগে নগরীর আমবাগান বস্তিতে আয়োজিত অনুষ্ঠানে সাংবাদিকদের প্রশ্নের উত্তরে তিনি বলেন, আমাকে নিশ্চিত করা হয়েছে আগামী ডিসেম্বরের মধ্যে সব রাজনৈতিক দলের অংশগ্রহণে একটি অবাধ, সুষ্ঠু, স্বচ্ছ ও বিশ্বাসযোগ্য নির্বাচন অনুষ্ঠিত হবে। এ ধরনের একটি নির্বাচন বাংলাদেশের জনগণ, রাজনৈতিক দল ও তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকারের প্রত্যাশা।
অন্য এক প্রশ্নের জবাবে তিনি বলেন, শক্তিশালী গণতন্ত্র, টেকসই উন্নয়ন ও সন্ত্রাসবাদকে প্রত্যাখ্যানের শর্তে যুক্তরাষ্ট্র সরকার বাংলাদেশকে খাদ্য সহায়তা দিচ্ছে। তবে এই ফুড এইড বিজনেস (খাদ্য সহায়তা কার্যক্রম) থেকে বের হয়ে আসাই আমাদের চূড়ান্ত লক্ষ্য। আমরা আশা করি, বাংলাদেশের মানুষ নিজেদের চেষ্টায় খাদ্যে স্বয়ংসম্পূর্ণতা অর্জন করবে। আমরা এ লক্ষ্য পূরণে বাংলাদেশকে সহায়তা করতে চাই।
তিনি বলেন, সরকারের সঙ্গে রাজনৈতিক দলগুলোর সংলাপে কোনো বহিরাগত মধ্যস্থতাকারীর প্রয়োজন নেই। এক্ষেত্রে তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকারের ভূমিকাই যথেষ্ট। তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকার সব রাজনৈতিক দলের অংশগ্রহণের মাধ্যমে সফল সংলাপ আয়োজনের চেষ্টা করছে। আমরা এ প্রক্রিয়াকে সমর্থন করি। আমরা দেখতে চাই, সমঝোতায় উপনীত হওয়ার জন্য সংশ্লিষ্ট সব পক্ষ প্রয়োজনীয় ত্যাগ স্বীকার করবেন। এ প্রক্রিয়ায় আমরা বহিরাগত কোনো পক্ষের ভূমিকার প্রয়োজন দেখি না।
বাংলাদেশে আসন্ন নির্বাচন নিয়ে আপনার প্রত্যাশা কিÑ এ প্রশ্নের উত্তরে জেমস এফ মরিয়ার্টি বলেন, আমরা দেখেছি বাংলাদেশের নির্বাচন কমিশন এ ব্যাপারে বেশ ভালো প্রস্তুতি নিয়েছে। পৃথিবীর অন্যতম বৃহৎ একটি ভোটার তালিকা তৈরির বেশিরভাগ কাজই তারা সাফল্যের সঙ্গে সম্পন্ন করছেন। আমি আশাবাদী, বিশ্বাসযোগ্য নির্বাচন আয়োজনের ব্যাপারেও তারা সাফল্যের পরিচয় দেবে।
চট্টগ্রামে বেসরকারি কনটেইনার বন্দর স্থাপনের ব্যাপারে যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের পরিকল্পনার কথা দৃঢ়তার সঙ্গে নাকচ করে দিয়ে রাষ্ট্রদূত বলেন, সেবার মান বাড়ানোর ক্ষেত্রে চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর ব্যাপক অগ্রগতি অর্জন করেছে। এটি তত্ত্বাবধায়ক সরকারের একটি বড় সাফল্য। চট্টগ্রাম বন্দরে জাহাজের গড় অবস্থান সময় ১২ দিনের জায়গায় মাত্র আড়াই দিন হয়েছে। বিদেশি বিনিয়োগকারীরা আস্থা ফিরে পাচ্ছেন। শিপিং ব্যবসাও নির্ভরযোগ্যতা পাচ্ছে।
জেমস এফ মরিয়ার্টি ও তার স্ত্রী মাদাম মরিয়ার্টি তিনদিনের সফরে গত শনিবার চট্টগ্রাম আসেন। গতকাল সকালে তিনি নগরীর আমবাগান বস্তিতে অন্তঃসত্ত্বা ও দুগ্ধদানকারী ৯৫ দরিদ্র নারীর মধ্যে মাথাপিছু ১২ কেজি গম, দেড় লিটার ভোজ্যতেল ও ৫০০ গ্রাম করে ডাল বিতরণ করেন। বাংলাদেশে ইউএসএইডের পরিচালনায় সৌহার্দ কর্মসূচির আওতায় এসব খাদ্য বিতরণ করা হয়। বর্তমানে দেশের ১৪ জেলার ১৩৭টি বস্তির ২০ হাজার পরিবারকে এ কর্মসূচির আওতায় খাদ্য সহায়তা দেয়া হচ্ছে।
যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের রাষ্ট্রদূত সকাল ১০টায় চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর পরিদর্শনে আসেন। এ সময় তাকে স্বাগত জানান বন্দর চেয়ারম্যান কমোডর এম ফারুক। রাষ্ট্রদূত বন্দরের চার নম্বর জেটিতে অবস্থানকারী একটি লাইটারেজ জাহাজ থেকে গম খালাসের কাজ প্রত্যক্ষ করেন। এসব গম বাংলাদেশে ইউএসএইড পরিচালিত সৌহার্দ কর্মসূচির জন্য যুক্তরাষ্ট্র সরকারের খাদ্য সহায়তা হিসেবে পাঠানো হয়েছে। ২২ মে ৪৫ হাজার ৭০০ মেট্রিক টন গম নিয়ে যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের লিবার্টি ঈগল নামে একটি জাহাজ চট্টগ্রাম বন্দরের বহির্নোঙরে আসে।
জেমস এফ মরিয়ার্টি আজ সকালে নগরীর বাদশা মিয়া রোডে কমনওয়েলথ যুদ্ধ সমাধি পরিদর্শন করবেন। দুপুরে তিনি চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর চেয়ারম্যান কমোডর এম ফারুক ও ইপিজেড ইনভেস্টরস ফোরামের সদস্যদের সঙ্গে মতবিনিময় করবেন।

In this context, it can be safely said that Mr. Chairman wasn't selected to the Army Chief position during his service to the nation for the reputation of being straight-forward, to the point and honest. To the political government, it was his natural tendency to oblige seniors to the fullest extant which made you an attractive choice. Now is the time to prove this perception wrong. Show some evidence of your reputation that exists among general people and general soldiers. The position that you accepted as ACC chairman does not have any use of your qualities of following order. This position needs your other qualities which is being straight forward, being to the point and being honest. Now is the time - the nation will be watching!
 
If you thought some of the ideas are worth of your reading time, please forward it to others. If you have an ear to the columinsts in regular traditional media, please forward it to them. If you have an ear to the journalists and news editors of the electronic media, discuss it with them. Hope they would look at the suggestions and give due diligence. 
 
Thanks for your time,

Dear Tayeb bhai and All:
 
Salaam. I also agree with lot of things Tayeb bhai mentioned in the mail. Even though I was never been in the Middle East but I heard enough from my near and dear ones about the double standard behavior of Arab folks. Fortunately, I came to know so many of Arabs in the USA and I constantly bring it to their attention… how they should treat their fellow poor Muslims or non-Muslims when they go back to their home countries.  I also always used to tell them it was our Prophet's good behavior and later on Muslims good behavior brought ISALM all over the globe.
 
Anyhow, ONE thing I want to remind myself and all of us in this forum is that Allah Rabbul A'alameen is ABOVE all the sins.
 
Some of us may disagree with the above statement however, I thought it was my responsibility to bright it to myself and everyone's attention.
 
May Allah forgive our sins and keep us under HIS mercy.
 
Thanks.
Helal

Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and other
countries in Asia as home maids. They employ these poor women for
very little money and force them to work 15-16 hours a day. Often
they do not get any break and work 7 days a week. Their work-hours
could be any time at day or at night.

agencies arrange jobs in collusion with similar organizations in
Arab countries. The usual practice is to pay the local agents, quite
substantial amount by the local standard and often these poor people
arrange the amount by selling the land or such small properties they
own, get the job and come to work in an Arab country. On arrival the
domestic women workers need to surrender their passports and other
documents to the employers, start working and with the works the
real ordeal begins.

work as ordered.

inviting serious problems. Generally there is nobody to listen to
them and what the employers say are the only truths. In Arab
countries justice system does not work when it involves foreign
workers from the poor countries. In March 2007 I met 4 women from
Bangladesh at Doha airport while flying by Qatar Airlines from
Frankfurt to Dhaka who told me their ordeal in Saudi Arabia. Each of
these women paid above 80,000 or so Taka to get jobs as domestic
servant in Saudi kingdom and on arrival they faced the same horrible
situation. They worked 3 months in the kingdom and were not paid a
cent for their hard work. The employers had something else in their
minds until the moment came for real action.

So they let them work day and night long 3 months to earn enough for
the air ticket to Dhaka and then they bought one way tickets for
each one of them and then bundled them home to Bangladesh via Doha.
I could see they were lucky. At least they were not sexually
molested, thanks to their advanced age.

woman, Nour Miyati, and unfortunately the poor woman was not so
lucky. This 25 years old woman contracted gangrene after allegedly
being tied up for a month and left without food in 2005. She had to
have several fingers and toes amputated. Human Rights Watch says
that Miyati was treated in a Riyadh hospital in March 2005 for
gangrene, malnourishment and other injuries. The case was taken up
by human rights group and the cruel employer family was brought to
justice. Then again, what is justice in a country where this sort of
criminality is a norm of most of the employers' psyche? A judge in
Riyadh gave a verdict on the case on last Monday and awarded $670
damages to the maid but dropped all charges against her employers.

guilty, despite her earlier admission and 'compelling physical
evidence' on Miyati's body, the human rights group says.

Arabia. 'Sometimes she would take a hot iron and burn me or heat up

workers such inhuman way is unique and unparallel as we hear of in
cases from Saudi kingdom and other Arab countries. The case of Saudi
Arabia, the land of Prophet of Islam and where the holy Kaaba is

Re: [chottala.com] CTG is totally naked now After the statement of the four oldest journalist s of the country

Why not???

It is very natural & very easy understandable matter to all people of Bangladesh that formed on 1/11 the 11 members advisors councils CTG politically administrate are not in all respect experienced persons. They are very raw hands very new face not political persons not efficient & not experienced persons to rule the country. It is also very known to every body of Bangladesh that the advisors of the elected president are the constitutionally legal Care Taker Government. 

It means that all political leaders of Bangladesh are infants & children. They (the politicians) have no idea to make the voter list, have no idea to conduct election so they have needed CTG for electing them as MP for Parliament to form the Government in Bangladesh to make rules of law to rule the country.

Now the inefficient & non experienced advisors of this CTG are facing so many problems to select the agenda for talking & to make the plan correctly what they have to need to do. So the time of them is now passing for gathering the experienced & the efficiency for selecting the work to do correctly & are doing aimless nonsense talking dialogue with infant & child politicians it may have the aim to earn some idea & knowledge to create efficient  & mature politicians in the country to elect in the next election to make the good rules of law for the politicians to do lawful politics under the system of lawful democratic political party for the lawful democracy & to form the future government.

Is it not its correct duty???

 What  a  susil  behaviour this CTG is doing with its parliament members!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
 
 After the  statement of the four oldest journalist of the country, is there any cloth on the body of this CTG?

 

চার প্রবীণ সাংবাদিকের বিবৃতি

চার প্রবীণ সাংবাদিকের বিবৃতি

প্রকাশ্য-অপ্রকাশ্য নিয়ন্ত্রণ নিয়ে উদ্বেগ

চার প্রবীণ সাংবাদিক কে জি মুস্তফা, এবিএম মূসা, নির্মল সেন ও কামাল লোহানী এক বিবৃতিতে সা¤প্রতিককালে সব ধরনের গণমাধ্যমের উপর প্রকাশ্য ও অপ্রকাশ্য নিয়ন্ত্রণ আরোপ এবং সংবাদপত্র ও টেলিভিশনে কর্মরত সাংবাদিক এবং মফস্বল সংবাদদাতাদের হয়রানি ও হুমকি প্রদানে উদ্বেগ প্রকাশ করেছেন। তারা বর্তমান ক্ষমতাসীন সরকারকে সকল সংবাদ, মন্তব্য, প্রতিবেদন প্রকাশ ও স¤প্রচার জরুরি আইনের বিধি-নিষেধের আওতামুক্ত করার দাবি জানিয়েছেন। এই সকল বিধি-নিষেধ প্রত্যাহার ও হয়রানি বন্ধের দাবিতে সাংবাদিক সমাজ ও তাদের নেতৃবৃন্দকে শুধু মৌখিকভাবে সোচ্চার হওয়া নয়, সংগ্রামী ও সক্রিয় ভূমিকা নেয়ার আহ্বান জানান।

প্রসঙ্গত চার সাংবাদিক বলেন, 'একই সঙ্গে আমরা দেশের রাজনৈতিক নেতৃবৃন্দকে স্মরণ করিয়ে দিতে চাই, অতীতে গণতন্ত্র পুনরুদ্ধার, মানবাধিকার রক্ষা ও মতপ্রকাশের স্বাধীনতা নিশ্চিত করার জন্য বিভিন্ন সময় বিভিন্ন আন্দোলনে আমরা এক কাতারে শামিল হয়েছিলাম। অথচ আজকে তারা গণমাধ্যম ও সাংবাদিকদের দুর্দিনে একাত্মতা প্রকাশের ব্যাপারে নিশ্চুপ রয়েছেন। তাদের যারা একটি রাজনৈতিক সংলাপে অংশ নিচ্ছেন তাদের সাংবাদিকতার ও মতপ্রকাশের স্বাধীনতা ও সাংবাদিক হয়রানির বিষয়টি সেখানেই আলোচনা করার অনুরোধ জানাচ্ছি। অপরদিকে অপ্রীতিকর পরিস্থিতির শিকার সাংবাদিকদের আমাদের কাছে তাদের সকল তিক্ত অভিজ্ঞতার বিস্তারিত বিবরণ পাঠাতে বলছি।

চার প্রবীণ সাংবাদিক গত শুক্রবার জাতীয় প্রেসক্লাবে একটি বৈঠকে 'স্বাধীন গণমাধ্যমের জন্য আমরা চারজন' (ডব ঋড়ঁৎ ভড়ৎ ঋৎবব গবফরধ) নামে একটি ফোরাম গঠন করেন। বৈঠক শেষে সাংবাদিক চতুষ্টয় বলেন, 'ইতিমধ্যে আমাদের কাছে অনেক জাতীয় এবং আঞ্চলিক পত্রিকার সম্পাদক ও সাংবাদিক এবং টিভি সাংবাদিক ও মফস্বল সংবাদদাতারা সংবাদ প্রকাশ, প্রচার, প্রেরণ ও স¤প্রচারের ক্ষেত্রে কোন কোন মহল কর্তৃক হয়রানির দুঃসহ অভিজ্ঞতা চিঠি, টেলিফোন ও ই-মেইলের মাধ্যমে অবহিত করেছেন। সংবাদপত্র ও টিভি আলোচক এবং কলাম লেখকদের একটি অলিখিত কালো তালিকা তাদের জানিয়ে দেয়া হয়েছে বলে অভিযোগ করেছেন। এমতাবস্থায় অতীত দিনের মতো বর্তমান সঙ্কটময় পরিস্থিতি মোকাবিলার জন্য অগ্রণী ভূমিকা পালনের জন্য নিগৃহীত সাংবাদিকগণ আমাদের অনুরোধ জানিয়েছেন। তাদের এই অনুরোধের প্রেক্ষিতে আমরা বর্তমান সাংবাদিক নেতৃবৃন্দের ও সম্পাদকদের সঙ্গে আলোচনা করে অচিরেই স্বাধীন গণমাধ্যম আন্দোলনের কার্যকর কার্যসূচি ঘোষণা করবো।' বিজ্ঞপ্তি
