President Mohammed Shahabuddin has called on journalists to contribute to building a non-discriminatory and democratic Bangladesh by embodying the spirit of the Liberation War and the hopes of the July-August mass uprising.
The President made this appeal during a meeting with the newly elected executive committee members of the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) at Bangabhaban on Sunday.
The delegation was led by DRU President Abu Saleh Akon and General Secretary Mainul Hasan Sohel.
During the meeting, the DRU members discussed their activities and sought government support for various programmes aimed at the welfare of journalists.
Recalling the vital contributions of journalists in the Liberation War, democratic movements, and the July-August mass uprising, President Shahabuddin emphasised the media's role as the fourth estate and the mirror of society.
