Mahabub Rahman delivered a welcome speech at the event.

During the fascist era, most of the newspapers in the country lost their character and they published different information instead of the actual events, Mahabub said, adding 鈥楢s a publisher, I want to ensure the freedom of expression of writers, but the fascists did not allow any opinions outside of their own narrative.鈥�

鈥楧ue to lack of proper documentations of the War of Independence in 1971, the roles many persons had played then were altered later, which can be discovered by reading the Bengali newspapers published in 1972,鈥� Shafiqul Alam said, adding that the roles of everyone in July uprising was clear because of documentations and which needed to be archived for future.

Currently senior assistant press secretary at the Chief Advisor鈥檚 Office Ahammad Foyez said that he wrote the book as a journalist to document the dirty character many newspapers had played during the mass uprising.

鈥楢fter July 16, 2024, there was no doubt about the movement and the headlines in the newspapers were more important due to pro-government attitudes of television channels and the government, now ousted, had shut down internet connections,鈥� Md Nahid Islam said, adding that the July mass uprising were internationally propagated as an Islamist revolution and military intervention.
