'Let the truth speak for itself'

Congratulations to Mr. Mozammel H. Khan for his well-written and timely piece under the above caption published in The Daily Star on February 6, 2016. During the last caretaker government, The Daily Star was courageous enough to criticise the political speech delivered by the former Chief of Army Staff. Recently, The Daily Star editor Mr Mahfuz Anam also showed extraordinary courage by admitting that it was his “biggest mistake” as an editor to run corruption stories against Sheikh Hasina on the basis of unsubstantiated information. Mr. Anam deserves our appreciation and respect for his boldness. It is very sad that he is being subjected to harassment.
