Media assassinating MPs’ character: Shamim Osman

Awami League lawmakers Shamim Osmanon told on Thursday the Jatiya Sangsad that some particular newspapers restarted assassinating character of Members of Parliament afresh in the country, reports UNB.

Taking floor on point of order in the House, he said a year ago he submitted a notice before the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Privileges seeking the protection of the House as some newspapers hampered his privileges as an MP, assassinating his character.

"I did not get any result though one year has elapsed after I submitted a notice," said the MP elected from Narayanganj-4 constituency.

"The newspapers who wrote against us, particularly the newspaper or the group of newspapers that tried to create the one-eleven... they now started afresh assassinating character of MPs again," he added.

Shamim Osman said 99 percent of the country's journalists are honest, while the remaining one percent of journalists is dishonest.

The dishonest journalists who took journalism to serve ill-purposes, they are now indirectly trying to create instability in the country, he said.

The ruling party MP sought to know about the fate of his notice.
