Multiple reports say Bangladesh’s government issues instructions restricting media coverage of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s remarks following an NDTV interview. According to these accounts, the Information and Broadcasting Adviser to the Prime Minister, Zahed Ur Rahman, communicates with media outlets that further reporting on Hasina’s statements is “completely prohibited.” The reports frame this as a directive to prevent coverage of Hasina’s remarks after the interview, rather than as a discussion of the content of the remarks themselves. The cited claims do not provide additional details on the scope of the ban, the duration, or the specific procedures media organizations are expected to follow. The reports also do not describe any enforcement actions or consequences for outlets that do not comply. Overall, the information presented focuses on the government adviser’s instruction and the resulting expectation that Bangladeshi media refrain from reporting on Hasina’s remarks connected to the NDTV interview.
