Attack on free press won't be tolerated: CA press wing

"Any attack on media freedom will not be tolerated as the government believes in freedom of press," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said on Thursday.

"We won't tolerate any attack on any newspaper. We are 100 percent committed to press freedom," he told reporters at a press briefing at Foreign Service Academy in the capital.

Alam said the interim government or any government agency did not make a single phone call to anyone regarding any report.

"There is not a single such instance," he added.

He said they only politely conveyed to the concerned person to revisit his or her report whenever they noticed mistake in any report.

Deputy Press Secretaries Abul Kalam Azad Majumder and Apurba Jahangir were present at the briefing.
