He said this in an exchange of views with journalists on contemporary issues in the conference room of the ministry on Tuesday afternoon. Al-Jazeera broadcast, but we could take action.
The way TV channels are shut down in other countries, we could have shut down in our country as well. We didn't stop. Because, we believe in the unfettered freedom of the media.
But believing in unfettered freedom, all media have a responsibility of their own. Al-Jazeera has failed in its responsibility. Hassan Mahmoud said: "The report has nothing to do with the title of what Al-Jazeera has seen.
The title is 'All Are the Prime Minister's Man'. The inside report is against the army chief and his family. Looking at the report, it seems that it is a report made out of personal resentment.
Al-Jazeera's acceptance in Bangladesh has diminished in the wake of reports from this personal aggression, when it is aired on a television like Al-Jazeera.
Al-Jazeera's report has been questioned worldwide. He said: "Their neutrality is objective, as well as their politically motivated report.
This is not a question that has been raised today, this question has been raised many times. Al Jazeera has stopped broadcasting in many countries. Even off in India. Still closed in many countries.
I am very sorry for Al-Jazeera, after giving this report, they have faced a lot of questions in Bangladesh.
Their acceptance and credibility has been severely undermined. Regarding legal action against Al Jazeera, he said, "The government has not yet decided to take legal action.
However, if an aggrieved person goes to the High Court or goes to court, if we get any instruction from the court, then we must abide by the instruction of the court. '
