"Greatest Bengalee" : mysterious silence
Mallik Akram Hossain, Hong Kong
Founding father of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has been adjudged the "Greatest Bengalee" of all time" in a listeners' poll conducted by the Bengali Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on April 14. Most of the newspapers published this news with great enthusiasm. People from all walks of life have enjoyed the programme on the "Greatest Bangalee" broadcast by BBC. Enthusiasm was overwhelming among the people to hear who would be the greatest. The silence of some newspapers over it implies that they are not truly serving the truth. Does publishing no news on Bangabandhu reflect their neutrality?
