"Hassan Mahmud, while serving as Information Minister, once said that media freedom in Bangladesh is greater than in the UK. See for yourself how free we really were.
During National Film Day 2023 at FDC, I asked the then Information Minister two questions:
1. Why was the Film Day celebration organized on such a small scale?
2. While you are busy celebrating the day, FDC employees have not received their salaries for four months.
What happened next became a striking example of media freedom!!!!!"
