Dhaka, Sept 21 - Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on Saturday said no initiative was ever taken by CRI to influence any journalist or media personality.

“Strictly speaking, no initiative was ever taken by CRI to influence any journalist or media personality,” he wrote on his verified Facebook page.

The former ICT Adviser to the then Prime Minister said that in addition to false cases and harassment of journalists, fake documents are now being circulated. 

“These false campaigns are being done to harass journalists more,” he said. 

He also said that those who have done this have dishonest motives.

Joy said that this is another attempt to frame and intimidate journalists and media personalities. 

“A fake document was posted on social media in the name of CRI to harass them further,” he said. - UNB
