Hasnat Abdullah said these words in a post on his verified Facebook account on Tuesday afternoon. Referring to the Bashundhara Group as a ‘land grabber, accused in a murder case many years ago and a media mafia’, Hasnat said, ‘I have clearly stated what I have said in my statement and I am still clearly stating it again, I have warned the authorities of the Bashundhara Group, a land grabber, accused in a murder case many years ago, and a media mafia, to stop spreading disinformation and hate against the leaders of the coup and focus on professional journalism.’ Hasnat Abdullah said, ‘I have never threatened the independent media of Bangladesh, rather I am an advocate for independent media. But giving a platform to the friends of fascism in the name of freedom and spreading disinformation against anyone will not be accepted.’
