Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Information Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Information Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury, a Joint Secretary, has been appointed as the additional charge of the Director General of Bangladesh Television (BTV) recently. Kamal U Ahmed was in the charge of the post earlier. In an abruptive move Kamal U Ahmed was removed from BTV and made OSD of the government. This sudden break has raised questions amongst the concerned circles. Knowledgeable sources said the now removed MD was hugely successful to raise the revenue collections of this state-owned and run media. To many the reasons to change the BTV MD by the feigned of the Caretaker government seem mysterious in the backdrop of fact that an elected government is scheduled to take the charge of the state soon. They suspects that certain interested block has played their hands from behind to safeguard their narrow gains.
