I am surprised that the news organizations in Bangladesh are circulating Conoco and Tullow contract news that is not final and are still in the negotiation table. It actually gives a wrong message to the people with wrong impression about its true intentions. Even the ignorant Foreign secretary Mijarul Quayes leaked the news about protests by India and Myanmar about the deal with the foreign companies. No country in the world ever publishes any news about any contract unless it is finalized and agreed upon. May be its because someone is trying to sabotage the oil and gas exploration of Bangladesh or out of sheer ignorance and neglect. But whatever the reason is, the news organizations should refrain from publishing any news that is harming the interest of the country and jeopardizing its prospects. Pre-emptive information is not good for a country like Bangladesh where conspiracy and distrust is abundant and everything is looked with sarcasm and negativity.
