Media and ministers
The national probe report on the BDR mutiny raised objections about role of the media in disseminating information during the mutiny. But it did not say anything about the comments of the ministers about the different “links of mutiny” just after the massacre took place. The national probe report did not find any such link. The media was giving true information but the ministers' comments were based on speculations and political motivation. Moreover, the comments might influence the investigations by different agencies. The report recommended formulation of a Code of Conduct for the media, specifying their role in consolidating national security. But why did it not recommend such Code of Conduct for the ministers?
