Reporting that's in bad taste

Last week and in the week before it, the print and electronic media of Bangladesh overzealously reported on the marriage of our railway minister as if it was a matter of great fun, though it was not. The way they reported tirelessly on the marriage, it has in fact encroached upon the personal life of the minister and his wife. When will we stop poking our nose in personal matters of other people? The op-ed, “The railway minister and his trophy wife,” published in your daily (Nov. 7) is not tenable. Saying another person's wife a trophy is highly objectionable; no matter whether the person is a minister or a man from the street.
