Attacks on media houses not acceptable: Touhid
Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Thursday said the attacks on the media houses - The Daily Star and Prothom Alo - are in no way acceptable and condemnable.
"Such attacks are not acceptable. We condemn the attacks," he said, acknowledging that they could not prevent it.
The Foreign Affairs Adviser, however, said the Home Ministry would be in a better position to talk about it further.
Hossain made the comments at a farewell interaction with the media at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He said the media was able to speak freely after the formation of the interim government.
When asked about the mob violence and attacks on the The Daily Star and Prothom Alo on the late night of December 18, he, however, said it was right to ask the Home Ministry about the mob violence, reports UNB.
But, the adviser said, he condemns the attacks on the media houses, and those are in no way acceptable.
Senior officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were present at the media briefing.
