Terror-funder Shahid Uddin Khan, who is wanted by Interpol and has been convicted in a number of criminal cases has started outrageous propaganda against internationally acclaimed multi-award-winning anti-militancy journalist and editor of Blitz, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury.

According to evidences obtained by this newspaper, Shahid Uddin Khan published Facebook post through one of his relatives, where Mr. Choudhury has been falsely branded as “property grabber” and a “infamous individual”. A video statement by Shahid Uddin Khan’s relative was also published by an YouTube-based illegal news channel, where it was accused that Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury has been “defaming esteemed individuals [such as Shahid Uddin Khan, Kanak Sarwar, Tasneem Khalil, David Bergman, Shahidul Islam, leaders of Hefazat-e-Islam, Jamaat-e-Islami and Bangladesh Nationalist Party]”.

Although under existing law of Bangladesh, publishing such defamatory video statement and Facebook post is tantamount to legal consequences, authorities concerned are yet to arrest the relative of terror-funder Shahid Uddin Khan and those behind this nefarious act. Also, Bangladesh authorities have not yet taken action against the YouTube-based illegal news channel for running such notorious propaganda against an internationally acclaimed journalist and newspaper editor.

It may be mentioned here that back in 2019, during a LIVE Zoom conversation between Shahid Uddin Khan and Tasneem Khalil, Khan made extreme derogatory remarks on Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and members of Bangladeshi media. Since then he has been regularly making derogatory remarks about Mr. Choudhury as well as Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, members of her family and several respected individuals in the country.

Commenting on this matter, Vijaya Laxmi Tripura, Senior Correspondent at Blitz said: “We already have brought the matter to the attention of the competent authorities in the Ministry of Home Affairs. in Bangladesh We believe, by next week legal proceedings will begin against perpetrators of such heinous crime”.

Ms. Tripura said, “When ISIS-fixer Shahid Uddin Khan is running extremely offensive and false propaganda against various important individuals of the Bangladesh government, how he manages using his relative in openly committing such punishable crime?”

She hoped, intelligence agencies will immediately initiate investigation into the matter and arrest the relative of notorious Shahid Uddin Khan.
