Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu has urged Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to bring the perpetrators behind the attack on journalists covering student protests under the ambit of law.
In a letter to his Cabinet colleague, Inu said such attacks on journalists were unfortunate.
“It’s well known the incumbent government is always sincere about ensuring the safety of journalists,” it read seeking Kamal’s “personal intervention” on the matter.
The home ministry has confirmed receiving it.
“We have received the letter. We also want the perpetrators to face justice. The police will be instructed to identify the attackers,” Public Security Division Secretary Mostafa Kamal Uddin told Bangla Tribune.
