BNP yesterday alleged that the government is trying to control the media to stop its criticisms and gag the voice of its oponents. "The media are being monitored and regulated regularly by a dark shadow after the national election so that no can say anything against the government," said BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi. He came up with the remarks while speaking at a press conference at BNP's Nayapaltan central office. The BNP leader said one-party rule has now reached such a level in the country where people have no right to raise their voice.
