Awami League's publicity and campaigning banned in media: State Minister for Information
State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasir Khan Chowdhury has said that alongside the activities of Bangladesh Awami League and its affiliated and associate organizations, their publicity and campaigning in the media and social media have also been banned. He said this ban was imposed through a notification on May 12, 2025, which the media should take into consideration. He said this while replying to questions from journalists after a meeting with a delegation of the Bangladesh Broadcast Journalists Center (BJC) at the Secretariat on Tuesday.

Regarding recent arson incidents, the State Minister said that the politics of those causing these incidents is one of destruction. Law enforcement agencies are active in this regard, and those involved are being arrested. At this time, he also said that Sheikh Hasina, the mastermind of arson terrorism, would be brought back to the country and brought under trial.

Highlighting the current BNP government's belief in media freedom, the State Minister said that the government has not interfered in the work of the media and will not do so in the future. To overcome the financial crisis of television channels, he assured that the delegation's written demands, including a proposal to provide a portion of subscription revenue from cable operators, would be reviewed and necessary decisions taken. In addition, the delegation demanded the introduction of interim arrangements, the formation of a media commission, and holding owners accountable to ensure proper salaries and benefits for journalists.
