Political trainer or press intimidator? Meghna Alam’s contradictory tactics raise serious questions

Self-styled ‘Miss Bangladesh’ Meghna Alam, who also claims to be a “certified political trainer”, appears to be employing contradictory and coercive tactics that amount to an attempt to bully and intimidate this newspaper.

On July 30, shortly after Blitz published a report titled Threats to Press Freedom: ‘Miss Bangladesh’ Meghna Alam’s Response to Investigative Reporting Raises Concerns”, Ms. Alam reached out to the editor of this newspaper via Facebook Messenger. As she is not connected as a Facebook friend, the message remained unattended at first.

The message read:

“Thank you for removing the article. I appreciate the gesture—perhaps there was a misunderstanding on both sides. I kindly request that any remaining harmful or inaccurate statements about me on X (formerly Twitter), Threads, or any other platform be removed as well.”
“Let us now shift toward collaboration. I believe we share a common interest: standing up against injustice and ensuring truth prevails.”
“It’s time for Bangladesh to be seen as a nation of fairness, dignity, and courage on the global stage. Let’s work together to make that vision a reality. Warm regards, Meghna Alam”.
