The Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) has demanded that Layla Kaniz Lucky, the first wife of former NBR official Matiur Rahman, withdraw her ‘intentional’ remark about journalists and issue an unconditional apology.
The DUJ issued the demand in a statement on Sunday.
On Thursday, Lucky, also chairman of Narsingdi’s Raipura Upazila, made her first public appearance in almost two weeks following allegations of ill-gotten wealth against her and her husband.
After attending two upazila parishad programmes that day, she remarked: "I have come here after managing all big journalists. All will now come to a stop.”
Her comment sparked outrage among the journalist community.
