Digital Security Bill

Scope still there for dialogue

There is still scope for dialogue with the Sampadak Parishad (Editors' Council) about the Digital Security Act, said Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu yesterday.

Editorial / A sad day for freedom of speech

It is regrettable that the Digital Security Bill has been enacted into law in spite of the objections from all concerned. The bill effectively curtails the freedom of speech and thus the very fundamentals on which democracy is built. If a law is meant to deliver greater good to the greater mass then the new Act, we are afraid, cannot pass the test.

Editorial / A blow to the fundamentals of the Constitution

We are extremely disappointed and shocked that a parliamentary standing committee report on the said Bill has been placed before the House without a single substantial change. The role of the JS body in this regard is disappointing.

Resist Digital Security Bill: Rizvi

Terming it a dangerous “black law”, BNP yesterday urged people from all walks of life to put up a strong resistance against the Digital Security Bill, 2018.
