Salman F Rahman has alleged that top-selling dailies Prothom Alo and The Daily Star helped the military-installed caretaker government in its attempt to implement the "Minus-Two formula' in the two years of emergency rule beginning in 2007.
Salman F Rahman has accused top-selling dailies Prothom Alo and The Daily Star of running a sustained campaign to destabilise the buoyant capital market and discouraging foreign investment.
Lawyers of former BNP government adviser Mahmudur Rahman claimed on Monday that a defamation suit filed against the editor of The Daily Star and five other journalists had been transferred to another court for trial without notifying the plaintiff.
The Daily Star yesterday celebrated 18 years of its publication through a programme attended by a galaxy of politicians, academics, artistes, businesspersons, media and civil society members.
The newspaper hosted a reception in the city's Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre sharing the joy of its success with hundreds of well-wishers and patrons on the occasion.
