Shafik Rehman regains control of Jai Jai Din

Shafik Rehman, founding editor of the Daily Jai Jai Din, has regained control of the Bangla newspaper after 18 years.

Shafik received the official declaration from Dhaka District Administration Office yesterday.

He later visited the Jai Jai Din Mediaplex on Love Road in Tejgaon and met the jubilant journalists, officials, and employees.

Earlier, the government had revoked the newspaper's declaration following an application by Shafik Rehman, citing violations in publication process.

As per official order, the newspaper was not being printed at the designated press.

Shafik Rehman was forced to leave his post during the military-backed caretaker government in 2007.
