Dismissed BSS journos urge CA to reinstate them
Staff Correspondent
Eighteen dismissed journalists and employees of the state-owned news agency Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) have sought intervention of the chief adviser and the information adviser to reinstate them as per directives of the High Court.The High Court on May 21 declared the dismissal of 18 BSS journalists and staffs illegal. It also instructed the government to reinstate them within two months as the then BSS management dismissed them without showing any reasons. The dismissed journalists said they submitted joining report to the chief editor and managing director of BSS on May 26 after the High Court verdict. "But still we are not allowed to work," one of them said. In a letter to the chief adviser, they said the BSS authorities had 'inhumanly' dismissed 27 journalists and several staffs from the news agency after 2001 general elections.
