  looks like we are going back to BAKSALI era.Mujib used the same technique to silence his opponents by forming BAKSAL. In January 1975, Mujib declared a state of emergency and later assumed the presidency, after the Awami League dominated parliament decided to switch from parliamentary to a presidential form of government. Sheikh Mujib renamed the League the "Bangladesh Farmers and Workers Awami League (Bangladesh Krishok Sramik Awami League, BAKSAL), and banned all other parties. BAKSAL became the strong arm of what had turned into a dictatorship, with Sheikh Mujib becoming the lifetime president. Many opposition political workers, mostly revolutionary communist elements, were jailed after three Members of Parliament were killed by the communist insurgency. The crackdown on opposition was aided by the elite paramilitary force Rakkhi Bahini. আমার দেশ সম্পাদককে আ'লীগ নেতাদের হুমকি : মাহমুদুর রহমানকে রাস্তায় চলতে দেয়া হবে না, জনতার কাঠগড়ায় বিচার করা হবেস্টাফ রিপোর্টার প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনার ছেলে সজীব ওয়াজেদ জয়ের ঘুষ নেয়ার অভিযোগ সম্পর্কে রিপোর্ট প্রকাশ করায় দৈনিক আমার দেশ সম্পাদককে হুমকি দিয়েছেন ক্ষমতাসীন আওয়ামী লীগ নেতারা। গতকাল দলের উদ্যোগে বিজয় দিবসের আলোচনা সভায় আওয়ামী লীগ ও সরকারের একাধিক কর্তাব্যক্তি আমার দেশ সম্পাদক মাহমুদুর রহমানের নাম উচ্চারণ করে বলেন, একটা কাগজ বানিয়ে যাচ্ছেতাই লিখে আমাদের ধৈর্যের বাঁধ ভাঙবেন না। মানুষ প্রতিহত করলে আপনি রাস্তায় বের হতে পারবেন না। আমরা আপনাকে চলতে দেব না। জয়ের বিরুদ্ধে অভিযোগ সত্য প্রমাণ না হলে মাহমুদুর রহমানকে বিচারের কাঠগড়ায় দাঁড় করানো হবে বলেও আওয়ামী লীগ নেতারা হুশিয়ারি উচ্চারণ করেন।

The threat against Mahmudur Rahman tantamount to a serious, mean and ugly threat against the freedom of press. It reminds of the BKSAL days when all the newspapers, except for four compliant ones, were banned and any aspiration of democracy was brutally strangled. During Mujib's reign of terror, between 1972 and 1975, more than 30 thousand patriots, according to many, were killed, BAL's plunder, as well as that of India, went on reckless and unabated and it created the man-made famine of 1974, which claimed, according to reports, 3 to 5 hundred-thousand lives. Mujib's rule was totally controlled by India, and he was helpless about it. He was in office, but not in power, as the power was in India's hands.
The present government was brought in power by India with support from the US and its allies, including their rubber stamp, the UN, only to serve India and its present allies. As the Amar Desh published a report of plunder through bribery, the government immediately took resort to intimidation. But this only exposes the government more.
Below is Khaleda's response to the threat:
