Diplomatic activities of China-America regarding B’deshi journalists increase : Professor

Dhaka, June 19 (Representative) Diplomatic activities of superpower countries like America and China have recently increased with regard to Bangladeshi journalists. Sometimes journalists travel to those countries. In 1971 India-Pakistan war, India’s contribution to the formation of this state called Bangladesh was very high. This is why India-Bangladesh relations are friendly. For the reason the people in favour of the spirit of independence of Bangladesh believe in their hearts that India also needs to increase diplomatic activities with the media like those superpowers. But it did not happen. India seems to be sleeping with oil in its nose. On the other hand, the journalists who recently visited China and America have been brainwashed about the Seven Sisters and NRC by the respective countries’ own funding. It is known that among the Bangladeshi journalists who went to India on the 2018 XP tour, there are several who are currently visiting America, and some are currently in China. It is funded by the Chinese government. Some people in the civil society of Bangladesh feel that India needs to be aware of this issue now. Professor of Dhaka University Nazmul Ahsan Kalimullah said, “US and China are two superpowers. The main goal and direction of these two forces is economic. And that’s why journalists want to be captured by superpowers. You must know that journalists have been killed, disappeared and tortured in the past in Bangladesh. Sagar-Runi’s murderers have not yet been found.

“I would like to give an example that Shanta Maria, a journalist of Jankanth, Bangladesh has studied in China for many years with a Chinese fellow. She is now working in Bangladesh. Will Shanta Maria talk about China or India? Ultimately she will talk about China. Another journalist Shyamal Dutt is the general secretary of the National Press Club and the people of Bangladesh know that he is a journalist of the Awami family. He has studied with the fellowship of the US government, now does this journalist have the courage to speak outside the interests of America? Of course nostalgia will work in them,” he observed. “In this way, there are many journalists in Bangladesh who are also funded by the government of Pakistan. The result of this brainwashing of journalists is that they will work for those countries and superpowers. I do not know whether India has done these things. Maybe India thinks Bangladeshi media and journalists will follow their word. This is their misconception,” Kalimullah said. Kalimullah said, do you think the journalists who will return from China tour will write about NRC and Seven Sisters in favor of China or in favor of India? Certainly not for India. He said, “Twenty First Century is a challenge for us as it is a much bigger challenge for India. I think that if India wants to become a superpower in media, it must continue to have a leadership attitude.”
