Bangladesh mulls legal action against Al-Jazeera

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Wednesday said the government is considering to take legal action against Qatar based television channel Al Jazeera for spreading false misinformation regarding Bangladesh.

“We can obviously take legal action against misinformation in the (Al Jazeera’s) report … we are looking into it,” he told reporters at the Foreign Ministry today, reports BSS.

On Tuesday, Bangladesh officially dismissed Al Jazeera news channel’s Monday’s report titled “All the Prime Minister’s Men” calling it as “false and defamatory” and a desperate “smear campaign” instigated by extremists and their allies, working in London and elsewhere.

“The report is nothing more than a misleading series of innuendos and insinuations in what is apparently a politically motivated “smear campaign” by notorious individuals associated with the Jamaat-i-Islami extremist group,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.

The Foreign Ministry said Dhaka regrets that Al Jazeera had allowed itself to become an instrument for their malicious political designs aimed at

destabilizing the secular democratic government of Bangladesh with a proven track record of extraordinary socio-economic development and progress.
