Daily Sangram dropped from official media list

The government has excluded the name of the Daily Sangram, a mouthpiece of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, from the official media list, reports UNB.

The action was taken after the daily published an article on its 12 December, 2019 issue describing Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami leader Abdul Quader Molla as ‘martyr’, said a handout on Thursday.

Quader Molla, Jamaat assistant secretary general, was executed on 12 December 2013 for his crimes against humanity, including the massacre of unarmed civilians and the killing of intellectuals, during the War of Liberation in 1971.
