When he (khaled) introduced himself as a journalist they again asked him to give his visiting card. Then Khaled said that “I have my identification card (ID) but no visiting card.
People in front of the desk said that without visiting card no one is allowed at the programme and when he was coming back they said (receptionists) that “it is lunch time that is why all journalists have started coming”.
Hearing this Khaled immediately told the matter to the Psychology department chairman Prof. SM Abul Kamal Azad and the other Journalists.
