Dear Alochoks,
Probaly you all know the incident.
in Alpin, a humor supplement of daily Prothom-Alo, a
joke was published mistakenly with a innocent
intention on September 17. The Joke was:
A man: What is your name?
Boy: Babu.
Man: Say Mohammed Babu.What's is your father's name?
Boy: X.
Man: Say Mohammed X.What is that in your lap?
Boy: Mohammed cat.
It was a mistake. And after publishing this joke, the
Mawlana's started demanding banning of Prothom Alo and
arresting the publisher and editor. The cartoonist, a
freelancer youth of 20 has been arrested. Government
banned all the copies of that magazines.
Next day, September 18, Prothom Alo's editor said
Sorry and begged pardon in the front page. On
September 19, same regrets and begging pardon was once
again published in the name of the editor. And the sub
editor in charge of that section was terminated due to
carelessness.
But fundamentalists did not stop. They are more
aggressive now.
And the govt. is thinking to obey to the demand of the
fundamentalists.
Foundamentalists are keep demanding to arrest the
editor Mr. Matiur Rahman.
Matiur Rahman is a Magsaysay Award winner journalist
and an icon
of free press in our country. Ironically he is the
most strong supporter of this Govt. and it's reform
works.
We strongly demand not to harass an editor and a free
newspaper.
If Matiur Rahman can be arrested, there's nobody in
this country is not vulnerable to fundamentalist's
danger.
