Jamal Uddin, a member of Chittagong Union of Journalists (CUJ), has been engaged with publishing books for the last 19 years.
“On several occasions, I earned the anger from the anti-liberation fanatical forces for writing the history of liberation war,” claimed Jamal Uddin in the GD.

Meanwhile, the leaders of Chittagong Union of Journalists (CUJ), condemned the threat made to the publisher and demanded the intimidator be identified and arrested without delay.
