Wali Ur Rahman, Former Ambassador
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices published by US state department on Bangladesh is not exactly correct. Bangladesh is a country which is consistently fighting against injustice and any kind of violation on the rule of the law in the country. The government of Bangladesh is consciously performing in various issues related to human rights, terrorism, and child abuse and it’s strong position on infant and mother mortality have been widely appreciated all over the world. Bangladesh has now graduated from least developed to developing country. It has been possible due to the careful and rule based guidance of honorable Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina. The fact that Bangladesh has not imposed any restriction on the media, print or electronic, is proved by the fact that from 7 in the morning they are presenting news including the forthcoming election, and publishing independently. In Bangladesh there is no Alternative Fact; A Fact is always A Fact, if it is not factual it is bad, but I shall not call it Fake news.
