The NOAB team that included The Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam and several other owner-editors or their representatives congratulated the businessman and sought his support for the newspaper industry. “But there was no malice (towards you)”, Anam told Salman Rahman. “We would probably agree to disagree on that,” Salman Rahman was quoted as saying in a curt reply. Prothom Alo and Bhorer Kagoj during Matiur Rahman’s time as editor in the 1990s also ran similar stories on Beximco. Besides NOAB president and daily Prothom Alo’s Matiur and Star’s Anam, industrialist and the Daily Samakal publisher AK Azad, The Independent Editor M Shamsur Rahman, Daily Manabzamin Chief Editor Matiur Rahman Chowdhury, Daily Bangladesh Pratidin Editor Naem Nizam and New Age publisher Shahidullah Khan Badal were in the team.
