Tuesday, 24 November 2009
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina has said her government is going to formulate a specific media policy soon in connection with media publicity on army and defence.
At the same time, the PM said her government has taken steps to make Inter Service Public Relations (ISPR) Directorate effective and time-befitting by reconstituting its existing organisational structure.
The PM said this while presiding over the Formation Commanders' Conference-2009 of Bangladesh Army at the Army Headquarters in Dhaka Cantonment Monday, reports BSS.
Referring to recent propaganda centring Bangladesh Army in a section of newspapers and TV channels, the PM said any negative remarks or discussion on army hurt the moral courage of all the military personnel.
In this context, the PM called upon all army personnel not to be confused with propaganda and expressed the hope that they would discharge their duties vested in them with utmost sincerity and honesty in the greater interest of the nation.
The PM called upon the army to be united to foil any ill attempt against the beloved motherland by maintaining discipline, unity and fellow feelings within the force.
"You have to take all possible measures to keep moral courage of the army personnel at the highest level removing all the existing problems by identifying those," the PM added.
