The Bangladesh National Awami Party on Thursday called upon all democratic forces to forge unity to protect press freedom.
Speakers at a roundtable organised by the party in the city said that that the Awami League never believed in press freedom.
The discussion titled 'Democracy, basic rights and press freedom' was held at Shafiqul Ghani Swapan auditorium at Nayapaltan to mark the 'black day for newspapers'. On June 16, 1975, the then government of Awami League had banned all but four newspapers.
The party chairman Jebel Rahman Ghani said that the AL-led government could not change their character and continued to harass journalists.
Chaired by Jebel Rahman Ghani, the discussion was also addressed by its secretary general M Golam Mostafa Bhuiyan, vice-president Subrata Baruri, joint secretary general Swapan Kumar Saha and Jatiya Shramik Andolan secretary general Sheikh Nasir, among others.
