Media workers and leaders of various political parties in Patuakhali have formed a human chain to protest the heinous terrorist attack on Jahirul Islam Miron, the Kuakata correspondent of private television channel Banglavision and the general secretary of Kuakata Municipality Jubo Dal, in Patuakhali and to demand the arrest of the culprits and exemplary punishment. On Sunday (January 9), at 11 am, the District Jubo Dal, Volunteer Dal, Public Rights Council, coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and journalists from various upazila branches of the Television Journalist Forum expressed solidarity in an hour-long human chain at the premises of the District Commissioner’s office. The program, chaired by District Television Journalist Forum Patuakhali President Kajal Baran Das and moderated by General Secretary Mujahidul Islam Prince, was addressed by District Jubo Dal President Monirul Islam Liton, District Volunteer Party President Mashiur Rahman Milon, Member Secretary of the Patuakhali District Branch of the Public Rights Council Md. Shah Alam, Coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement Rifatul Kabir, Vice President of Patuakhali District Reporters Club Ahsan Jiku, President of Sahagalachipa Television Journalist Forum Md. Jasim Uddin, Patuakhali District Representative of Anand TV Nazim Uddin, among others. The speakers demanded that the attackers be identified and arrested within the next 3 days and brought to justice. Otherwise, they warned of boycotting all news and strict programs. After the human chain, a memorandum was submitted to the Home Advisor through the Deputy Commissioner. It is worth noting that Miron arrived in front of the Kuakata filling station from Dhaka at around 12:30 am last Tuesday. Later, when he got out of the car and left for home, the miscreants randomly hacked him to death and left him. He is currently undergoing treatment at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
