Shahriar calls for avoiding fake news

Underscoring the need for avoiding fake news, State Minister for Foreign Affairs M Shahriar Alam has urged the politicians and journalists to come forward for the country's development, reports UNB.
He came up with the call on Tuesday while addressing as the chief guest a function arranged by Rajshahi Divisional Journalists' Association at Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy marking its founding anniversary.
If the politicians and journalists maintain their professionalism, the country can reach its development goal, the state minister said, urging all to invest more in investigative reports.
Chairman of news agency United News of Bangladesh (UNB) Amanullah Khan said Bangladesh is united from Teknaf to Tetulia. "This is our identity. There're some specific characteristics of each region.”
