Four of the resignations have been resigned from important posts of Bangladesh ICT Journalist Forum (BIJF). The resignations are - Vice President Naznin Kabir, General Secretary Sabbin Hasan, joint secretary Tariqur Rahman Badal and publication and research secretary M. Mizanur Rahman Sohel
They resigned at around 12pm on Monday.
In the resignation letter, 31 people have been given membership in the organization. However, from the executive committee meeting to the membership, requests for more than 13 member papers are reviewed till the next day. After the recommendation of the Selection Committee, the responsibility of the executive committee is to verify the correctness of the recommendations, which has not been done. Considering all things, unknown faces, multiple members on the same television, overwhelming members of television, members of BIT outside journalists have been considered to be blue eyes.
Vice-president Naznin Nahar said that the above mentioned matter was discussed with the selection committee, links to the published news, TV footage of the members as evidence of journalism, and nothing has been verified (except those who have hardcupas). There is no signature of the treasurer who have been given membership in any form. But the seal has been made separately for the signing of less important 'supporter' and 'proponents' than the treasurer's signature. The full list of those who applied for membership of the organization was not disclosed to the EC.
The names of two applicants have not been kept in the list. However, we have no complaints about taking qualified members. But where are the people who have become a member even after not being qualified and who are excluded from the eligibility of reconsideration? What is the fear of this President of 31? If they are eligible, they can come back.
Research editor M. Mizanur Rahman Sohel said, "Even if the President approves these things, he can not move one step beyond the constitution," he said. It has been said in the constitution that to become a member of BIJF, two years of IT journalism will be done. However, the age of IT journalism has been given two years before the membership, and especially the other BIT journalists, which is a clear violation of the constitution. At the same time, not being a member of qualified journalists. The names of 31 members who have been published. There is a compulsory obligation to give twice as per the constitutional rules. As a result, the names of the remaining 25 will be seen next time. If there is a need to give the name of the members without the eligibility of the qualifications and without proper qualifications then why?
