Nasim Osman threatens journalist
Jatiya Party lawmaker Nasim Osman yesterday allegedly threatened a journalist to force him out of Narayanganj.
Halim Azad, president of Narayanganj Press Club and deputy chief reporter of Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS), made the allegation against the legislator (Narayanganj-5) at a press conference at the press club.
"We have made a list of journalists like you and decided your fate," Halim quoted Nasim as saying.
The incident took place after a monthly meeting of district law and order committee at the deputy commissioner's office.
A member of the committee, Halim is also the member secretary of the newly-formed "Santras Nirmul Toki Mancha."
The journalist later filed a general diary with Narayanganj Sadar Police Station in this connection.
Meanwhile, Nasim Osman in a press statement claimed that Halim made “provocative” statements in the meeting which was enough to irk him.
