Quality of journalism
This is in reference to the article with the above mentioned title by Kuldip Nayar published in The Daily Star on July 1, 2016. I don't think it would be wrong to say that as far as Bangladeshi media (both print and electronic) are concerned, it's quite well aware of the 'lakshman rekha' (boundary) they should abide by 'voluntarily' or otherwise.
However, Mr. Nayar's last paragraph on UK media brought my attention back to renowned CNN Chief International Correspondent Christaine Amanpour's write up "Brexit: Truth, myths & media" published on June 30, 2016 on edition.cnn.com that explicitly describes how most of UK media outlets looked the other way instead of making the public aware of the real facts while pro-Brexit leaders were dishing out lies and falsehood about EU vis-à-vis UK! The accompanying video of Amanpour debating with Daniel Hannan, a member of EU parliament and a prominent pro-Brexit campaigner is worth watching as it shows how racism has begun to show its ugly head openly.
