Reports on plot to murder Hasina “baseless and motivated”: PM office
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) dismissed a media report about a failed attempt on the life of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, terming it completely “baseless and motivated”.
“Some media outlets on September 23 published and broadcast a report about a failed attempt on the life of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina using a source of a foreign TV channel and an international online news agency,” a press release sent by the PMO Press Wing said on Sunday.
It said a number of TV channels also aired the news and held talk shows on the so-called failed attack on the premier by involving some members of a special force.
“This is to inform all that the news of the attack is completely baseless, confusing and motivated. It is not expected at all from any responsible person or conscious media to publish or broadcast such a confusing report which goes against the overall interest of the country’s security,” the press release added.
The PMO also earnestly requested all concerned to run judicious media activities by maintaining caution before publishing such “baseless and confusing” news.
