Dhaka University Teachers Association
Leaders of Dhaka University Teachers Association have protested and condemned the recently published Al Jazeera report terming it as ‘False and Fabricated’ as it was produced violating the ethics of journalism. “It is expected that media publish news stories covering inconsistency of the society and country but what Al Jazeera publishes in the name of investigative journalism goes against the ethics of journalism,” said a statement of the association. The organisation urged the government to take stern action against those who are conspiring against the country from home and abroad.The statement signed recently by its President Dr Rahmat Ullah and General Secretary Nizamol Haque Bhuiyan, also said the report titled ‘All the Prime Minister’s Men’ was made applying special influence with excessive background music instead of giving proper documents or proof, which raised question over its legal ground. In the report, comments were used as source of some people who have been conspiring against the country for long, read the statement.
The university teachers urged the Qatar based news channel to practice journalism maintaining objectivity and following ethics of journalism instead of playing a partial political role with some agenda.
