National Consensus Commission Vice-Chairman Professor Ali Riaz yesterday said it would be a big re-form if the politicians uphold commitment to press freedom.
He made the comment while participating in a view exchange meeting on the proposed report of the mass media reform commission at the Daily Star Bhaban in the city.
Ali Riaz said the politicians would have to take responsibility for maintaining fascist government by us-ing the Journalism for long sixteen years, adding that the independent and profession journalism is not possible through continuing the existing form of ownership in media.
“You have to decide whether you would be a shopkeeper or the fourth estate,” he told the meeting.
On the press freedom, Professor Ali Riaz said if the politicians give commitment to the press freedom and then it will be a big reform.
