The newly formed executive committee of the Charfasson Press Club has strongly condemned and protested against reports published by several online media outlets concerning Nurul Islam Nayan, a member of parliament from Bhola-4, describing the reports as “false, fabricated and misleading.”

The protest was made at an emergency meeting of the newly formed executive committee at the auditorium of the Charfasson Press Club building on Thursday evening (September 17).

The meeting was chaired by Charfasson Press Club President Zulfikar Mahmud Niaz and moderated by General Secretary Kamal Goldar.

Speaking at the meeting, executive committee leaders expressed their concerns over what they described as false and fabricated reports recently published about Nurul Islam Nayan.

The speakers said Nayan was known as a highly talented student during his academic years. They said he performed well in various examinations before being admitted to the Department of English at the University of Dhaka, where he completed his higher education.

They further said local people have a positive perception of Nayan’s honesty, dedication and commitment to fairness. However, they alleged that a “conspiratorial group,” allegedly envious of his popularity in Charfasson and Monpura, was attempting to create confusion by providing false and misleading information to several online media outlets.

The leaders of the Charfasson Press Club said journalists should verify information thoroughly and obtain statements from both sides before publishing reports concerning any individual or public representative.

They called for verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the reports and urged media outlets to uphold responsible journalism.
