He is controlling the media for the Kings. He is sometimes 'a journalist himself, a viewer himself' and collects media cards for himself. The dominance of the field is all his achievement.
Bashundhara Kings Football Club is in Kuwait to represent Bangladesh in the AFC Challenge League. But since the team's arrival, the incident of an Awami League leader has spread anger among journalists in Kuwait.
From the day the team arrived in Kuwait, the leader appeared with his entourage everywhere, from the airport to the hotel to the practice field. Even on the day of the main game, he ignored the media representatives of Kuwait and Bangladesh and walked around the field 'as a journalist', took pictures and gave various instructions.
Before the Bashundhara Kings' visit to Kuwait, the club authorities officially informed the Bangladesh Press Club Kuwait that they would cover the news of the match. Accordingly, the journalists submitted their identity cards and pictures from their respective television channels. But they were disappointed and angry when they were not allowed to enter the field.
On the other hand, despite not being a journalist, the Awami League leader mysteriously collected a 'media card' and entered the field and continued to take photos and videos while standing on the field during the match.
Representatives of various television stations, including the Kuwait Bangladesh Press Club, have expressed their anger over the incident. They said, "Giving a political figure access to the field while ignoring journalists is an extreme disrespect to the media."
