Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader said on Monday BNP's comment on press freedom is an exposure of the party's new conspiracy against media and journalism, reports BSS.
He said this in a statement issued in protest against BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir's statement.
Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, urged BNP to shun the path of conspiracy to play a responsible role in keeping trust in the spirit of Liberation War.
If BNP can do so, Bangladesh's path of progress and prosperity will be freed from obstacles, he observed.
Otherwise, BNP will have to face severe disaster, he said.
Under the leadership of successful statesman Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh is marching forward towards prosperity and this development spree will continue in the coming days too, he hoped.
"No one will be able to keep on suppressing us," he said referring from the landmark March 7 speech of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The minister said purpose-oriented falsehood and propaganda of BNP leaders are being aired every day in talk-shows on different television channels.
Even after that they are raising ridiculous questions over freedom of the press, he said.
"We want to firmly say that the sky of press freedom has been opened under the leadership of successful statesman Sheikh Hasina," he said.
Now not only state-run television channels but also private-run TV channels are getting the facilities for commercial broadcasting by using Bangabandhu Satellite, he mentioned.
