But when a judge himself is involved in wrongdoing, who will judge him? Journalists hesitate to write against judicial misconduct. I exposed the misdeeds of a judge in my newspaper. As a result, corrupt members of the judiciary became enraged, filed false cases against me, and sent me to jail. They threatened me in many ways to stop publishing news. I have ignored all of it, I published the news, and I will continue to do so.”Adviser to the Dhaka Press Club Advocate Shafiqul Islam Kajol also spoke on various aspects of Bengali culture during the Noboborsho celebration. Members of the Dhaka Press Club Executive Committee took part in the discussion.The program concluded with a special prayer, followed by lunch for all attendees.
