Some civil society members trying to mislead people: Parash

Awami Jubo League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash has alleged that said a section of the civil society of the country is now active to mislead the people.

"Attempts are being made to create such a situation so that the common people lose their faith in the government," he said in a food distribution programme to unprivileged people in the capital's Turag area.

"Some media are now very nakedly played the role of the opposition party, the disgraceful revelations of which have recently come before the public through The Daily Prothom Alo's yellow journalism," he said.

"It cannot be called only yellow journalism, this type of journalism has tarnished the profession," Parash said.

He said that the recent incident of arson of BNP is very sad and suspicious. "Since there is a record of arson it is natural to treat them seriously on the list of suspects," he added
