My "friend Maha Kala Jadu" knows

                   "Rabid Mahmud Chanchall"

Since I have been working with the media for a long time, I consider the media as my friend. Some "media friends" in my country know Maha Kala Jadu. The power of this great black magic is so great that one and a half years from being an enemy to a great enemy, one can suddenly become a friend by saying "Chu mantra chu". I will try to explain in detail in today's article why I talked about the great black magic of sudden media. It would be foolish to expect everyone to agree with what I write, but I will say that some media definitely knows "great black magic". 

As mentioned, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Tarek Rahman, visited Malaysia a few months ago. At that time, photos and videos of some significant moments between the Prime Minister of Malaysia and the Prime Minister of Bangladesh were posted on social media by the Prime Minister of Malaysia with the song "Amar Bandhu Maha Jadu Jaane". This video went viral in no time. Just as the Prime Minister of Malaysia expresses his happiness by adding a beautiful song when he is happy, there are some media in our country who do not hesitate to sit on a friend's lap when they know the time and stab that friend's chest when they get the opportunity. After suffering such a knife injury for 18-20 years, when they recover and take Rajasana, how can those disguised friends become friends again? But they were supposed to stay in Astakure. 

If I say more clearly then it has to be said that except for a handful of print and electronic media in Bangladesh, all the rest are in love with neighboring countries named Awami, Left and Bandhu. Today's BNP or Jamaat-e-Islami, the opposition party of the present great parliament formed by martyred President Ziaur Rahman, is never loved by these fake media or they do not have a positive idea about these two parties for any time. Their activity on how to discredit BNP-Jamaat when given the opportunity. A little thought will make it clear to you,Ever since the formation of BNP, the work of these media has been to trivialize Islamists. Martyr President Ziaur Rahman's pure love for the country, proverbial honesty, sky-high popularity, indomitable desire to build the country have never been recognized by this media group. Even during the tenure of the government of the uncompromising leader Begum Khaleda Zia, who played an almighty role in restoring the country's democracy, this media group continued to try to endanger the BNP government by calling tricks. At least I don't think BNP has learned much despite being bullied by this scheming media group at various times. It may also be an expression of the party's liberal policy. 

Already, BNP's media attention can be seen. Especially after being in power from 1991 to 1996 and 2001 to 2006, BNP could not build any significant media. Amar Desh Patrika's editor Mahmudur Rahman mentioned an incident in his comment report titled "BNP in trouble with media's new ally" and said, "In 2004, when the pro-BNP engineers' organization was affiliated to AAB, some engineers went to the then BNP secretary general and local government minister Mannan Bhuiyan's building on Mintu Road in the evening to invite the chief guest. Shahreen Islam Tuhin and the current chairman of Rajuk, Mr. Manjoor Morshed, a popular leader of the IEB, said, "You are not doing anything to solve this serious problem." He said in an angry voice, "If the government does good work, there is no need for media propaganda. People will support BNP regardless of propaganda. Such an apolitical statement from Mannan Bhaiya who came to BNP was unexpected."BNP had to pay the expiation for not giving an objective and effective answer to the media's propaganda on time that day. The fake friend media has stabbed in such a way that a situation like 1/11 has been created in the country. Then 17 long springs passed. Of course, Dainik Amar Desh and Dainik Dinkal were at the top among the media which fought against the propaganda and exploitation of Awami League for a long time. But day by day, daily struggle, daily endless,A few newspapers, including Manabzamin, could not protest strongly against the lies of the Awami League, but continued to make mild attempts. Among them, Daily Dinkal was never able to reach the top position in readership due to being the direct mouthpiece of BNP and Daily Sangram Jamaat. From 2008 to 2013, the daily Amar Desh Hasina was forced to close by the government as a result of its fight against Islamism. It can be said that it closes in almost the same way every day. Mahmudur Rahman, the secretary of my country, was sentenced to prison. Editor Shafiq Rehman was forced to leave the country.  During the time of Awami League, I myself was working as a daily staff reporter in Dhaka. Despite not getting proper salary and allowances, only they know how many journalists have to suffer with their families because of being a lover of Bangladeshi nationalism. Many of today's BNP leaders may not remember or know this history. Subsequently, Daily Dinkal, known as the mouthpiece of BNP, was shut down. A brutal attack was carried out on the office of Dainik Sangram. Abul Asad, one of the senior and senior journalists of Bangladesh, was assaulted. Those pictures still flash in the heart sometimes. During the rule of Awami League, the most popular television channels, Channel One and Digant Television, were shut down. Thousands of journalists and people of various professions involved in mass media became unemployed. And most of the people who were involved in these activities are left domestic media workers or trusted Indian media personalities. 

Most of the media people who were fired or variously persecuted by the fascists did not get jobs. Because there was a big lack of media houses that believed in Bangladeshi nationalism. Which is still there, I don't know if it will be in the future. Yet losing this job,The media workers who were victims of torture were waiting impatiently. If the fate of Bengal is removed from the sky, maybe these people will be evaluated on that day. I leave it to the readers to judge how much fortune has changed after the formation of the present government.I was hoping that the BNP would identify and suppress the friends who have been stabbing from the back and front of the past, or learn from the mistakes of the past and take initiative to establish a new media house to highlight the activities of the government at the doorsteps of the people. But in the real context it was seen that since the formation of the BNP government, all the fascisms were the result of incidents like 1/11. Those who were determined to deliver the words and actions of the Bangladeshi government, which is known as right-wing, believe in nationalism to the people's doorsteps, have once again embraced the individuals and institutions as friends. In a show of generosity, Prime Minister Tariq Rahman has expressed his intention to build important relations by forgetting the news media hostile to BNP in several conversations with journalists. There would have been no reason for the workers of our various newspapers to be disheartened by the political tactics of a party over time, unless the so-called civil servants of the Left House were really hostile to Bangladeshi nationalism at heart. Sometimes impersonators act like friends but suddenly show their true colors. For example, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs has received the promotion of Humayun Kabir, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs, instead of the recent cancellation in the Cabinet. The day after Badle, a front page story appeared in Sunam Dhanya (1/11 Kushilab) questioning his British citizenship. According to the source of this news, a journalist asked the State Minister of Foreign Affairs at the next press conference. In response, the angry Minister of State for Foreign Affairs took a dig at the newspaper's controversial role during 1/11 without naming names. At the same time, some civil organizations and individuals have come to the side of the dispute between the newspaper and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs within 24 hours. Many commented on the incident on the talk show that,The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs has come under pro-Indian fire for taking a stand in favor of Bangladesh's accession to the Mecca Treaty. Many have again campaigned that the state minister is now taking some heat for Indian brokers not being able to get the prime minister to agree to a visit to India. 

However, for the past 17 years, those who were desperate to establish the hegemony of the neighboring country by strangling Bangladesh nationalism, are again controlling the media world of Bangladesh by wearing the guise of nationalism after the Monsoon revolution. They have even succeeded to a large extent. Then you must understand that all these media friends "know black magic". If not, I am left with the question of how the friends of the newly departed fascists and the foot soldiers of the neighboring lords still keep themselves in a strong position...?
