Daily Star, Prathom Alo just tasted their own bitter medicine.
They may try to play 'victim-hood' today -- something we see in India from time to time.
Indirectly they cradled and nurtured the monsters and the monsters - like that proverbial saying - came back to them full grown.
Why they .... were caught surprised ?
'Daily Star' says -- "atut monoboley egiye jaabe
(WE WILL MARCH AHEAD WITH OUR UNBREAKABLE CONFIDENCE )
It could have delivered a better journalism had it questioned why 'students' protest' turned so violent in 2024. Was Hasina's only crime was she was close to India ?
We would like to see how many strong edits and write ups had come in Bangladesh against 'radical Islam' and unwarranted India-bashing.
As you sow -- so shall you pray. Sometimes; others also have to pay a price !!

"It happens always. The idea is simple - for any Islamic uprising first attack should be directed to the most popular/circulated media institutions.
Nip in the bud anything that may one-day try to give a dissenting voice," explains Agartala-based Manas Pal, a longtime Bangladesh watcher.
He points out - "There is a word 'Tawahush' which means total chaos . That Tawahush is an important and integral tool for Islamic terror tactics on way to creating an Islamic regime.
That's what ISIS predicted in its mouth piece Dabiq (14th edition) 10 years ago dedicated to Bangladesh."
He posted on Facebook that - he has a copy of this edition.
Needless to add; one cannot agree more. Indian agencies also knew worse in Bangladesh or in the context of Dhaka-Delhi ties were yet to come. Perhaps. Sheikh Hasina's ouster was a teaser.
Right from Hadi murder to rabid anti-India, anti Liberation War and anti-Mujib family campaign to everything - all were just part of massive sinister designs.
It's all planned. Make no mistake, says Manas Pal adding -- "Bangladesh has gone down to drain and the maggots will crawl up from all directions now".
Daily Star's own version::::
It was around midnight, and the newsroom of The Daily Star was running at full pace. The first edition deadline was close. Reporters were filing last-minute updates, sub-editors were polishing headlines, and the usual pressure of a night shift filled the room.
A reporter at The Daily Star, began receiving repeated calls late Thursday night warning that a mob was vandalising another newspaper office nearby and was moving towards his workplace.
He immediately alerted colleagues in the newsroom..... and so on !!
Bangladesh is in chaos. The Yunus regime has always been a puppet and now this immature team stands exposed. They do not have any idea about governance or security apparatus.
They thought simple India-bashing and directing the riot against Hindus will salvage them. Perhaps this was the motive when helpless Dipu Das was attacked.
February elections now look remote and that may be chief agenda of a 'fraudster' who faced the other side of law when Hasina was in power.
If polls are held and a new regime - likely BNP - comes back -- he will have no business to be in Dhaka. His western guardians may not take him on lap this time.
"A DARK DAY FOR INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM" -- runs a piece in 'Daily Star'
It was one of the darkest days for independent journalism in Bangladesh when two of its largest newspapers -- The Daily Star and Prothom Alo -- were attacked.
"Even while we remember Sharif Osman Hadi's role in the July uprising as one of its frontline activists and are deeply saddened by his untimely demise, we note with concern that certain elements and quarters have exploited the public anger to incite mobs against two newspapers that have always stood for objective journalism.
It appears that this is another attempt at creating an environment of instability in the country to derail the forthcoming election. We further point out with grave apprehension that this attack on newspapers will reflect badly on Bangladesh's freedom of speech and erode the country's image across the globe."
( ** some of it is pure gyan. It's like Rahul Gandhi walking into Hindu temples.)
Media also encouraged a mixed interference of 'Deep State', Pakistan and radical elements and now 'media' shedding tears -- crocodile or of some other living species is for posterity to judge.
But from the Indian point of view - things are serious and more serious perhaps than the 1971 crisis.
Developments in Bangladesh --- could turn out as the last nail in the coffin for the aapa-led dispensation in Kolkata.
It's also a lesson for those in northeastern states - who for long encouraged 'hating outsiders'. Hatred sometimes works like the proverbial 'four fingers' coming at you. Anti-Modi rhetoric and RSS-bashing is also a favourite past time with many people and communities in northeast India.
Gaze in thine own heart.
