Prothom Alo reports irk Faridpur AL

The Faridpur district Awami League yesterday condemned Bangla daily Prothom Alo for running a series of reports on the district, and termed the news items baseless and fabricated.
The reaction came at a media briefing held in Faridpur Press Club where Joint Convener Animesh Roy of district Swechchhasebak League read out a statement condemning the Bangla daily. The statement was signed by district AL vice-president Subal Saha.
On Tuesday, speakers at a meeting in deputy commissioner's office expressed grievances over the reports to Expatriate Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain.
Prothom Alo had recently run three reports on the political activities of Minister Mosharraf's brother Khandaker Mohetesham Hossain and the controversial role of the district administration.
Mohetesham, among others, was also present in yesterday's press conference. He too termed the reports false and fabricated.
