A group of journalists has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association demanding
appropriate measures to be taken following a brawl that occurred at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC) premises.
The confrontation took place at a garden party organised by the Association to celebrate the committee’s recent election
