Abrar Hussain: Terming it a dangerous ‘black law’, BNP urged the people of all walks of life yesterday to put up a strong resistance against ‘Digital Security Bill, 2018.
“A parliamentary standing committee finalized a report on the much-talked-about Digital Security Bill, 2018 ignoring the opinions of people of all strata. It’s a dangerous black law which will be passed to establish Awami League’s full control over the state power,” said BNP senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.
“The freedom of press and journalists will be at stake if the bill is passed. We would like to say this bill can’t be passed. We urge all irrespective of party and opinion to create a united resistance against this black law.”
On Tuesday, the parliamentary standing committee on Post, Telecom and ICT Ministry finalized its report on the bill.
