‘War-like situation’: Meet the journalist who was shot at in the Bangladesh job quota protests


Listen Later

What started as a mass student protest against job quotas escalated into a deadly uprising in Bangladesh, with over 150 people killed so far.


Muktadir Rashid, a journalist in Bangladesh who has been reporting on the clashes from the ground, speaks to Newslaundry about the challenges to reporting in such circumstances, the incident in which he was shot at, how two journalists were killed, and the struggle for media in Bangladesh to be independent.


Rashid also discusses the triggers behind the protests, and how it’s become one of the biggest challenges Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has faced in her two-decade tenure.
