BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir publicly criticized the current state of the Bangladeshi media, alleging it has lost its independence. Speaking at an event commemorating the 45th death anniversary of BNP founder Ziaur Rahman, Alamgir stated the media now functions as a representative of business interests. He further claimed the media demonstrates “servility” and a lack of objectivity. The event, held at the National Press Club on June 14th, included a photo exhibition and discussion forum. Alamgir’s comments reflect growing concerns within the BNP regarding media coverage and perceived bias. He did not specify which media outlets were the target of his criticism, but his remarks signal a broader dissatisfaction with the current media landscape. The speech was delivered as the main guest address at the commemorative event.
