The journalist leaders told the information minister that some of the government and party tried to say that those who had entered Jamaat-Shibir campus inside the BCL campus have done this kind of foul attack. If that is the case, then the attackers should be arrested and brought to the public by making it clear. Journalist leaders expressed anger over the arrest of attackers on journalists and said that this could be due to the lack of good will of the government.
