Asif Akbar declines Betar and BTV offers after 18 years of blacklisting

Asif Akbar, one of the most popular singers in Bangladesh, had been unofficially blacklisted by Bangladesh Betar (Radio) and Bangladesh Television (BTV) for 18 long years. However, after the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, the artiste’s name was swiftly reinstated on the “white list” overnight.
