The Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) has raised concern over the cancellation of accreditation cards for 118 journalists, including 10 permanent ERF members, by the Press Information Department (PID) on 7 November.
ERF President Rafayet Ullah Mirdha and General Secretary Abul Kashem urged the government to reinstate the cards immediately, stating, "ERF members responsibly cover various events at the Secretariat; revoking their cards hinders independent journalism."
They added that the decision contradicts the government's commitment to support free journalism and information flow, as previously stated by top leaders.
