Staff Correspondent, Ctg
People of different professions yesterday burnt the effigy of former Jamaat-e-Ismali ameer Ghulam Azam in front of Chittagong Press Club demanding punishment for his involvement in crimes against humanity during the War of Liberation in 1971. At a human chain programme at the club premises, local elite including poets, litterateurs, journalists and artistes, raised the demand. Prof AQM Sirajul Islam Chowdhury expressed their angers at some electronic media for broadcasting the interview of Ghulam Azam. Telecasting the interview on some media on December 13 showed audacity and went against the sentiment of the country people, he added. Reaz Haider, former general secretary of Chittagong Union of Journalists, said a section of people who are trying to save the war criminals also active in the media.
