BNP protests news portal guideline
Dhaka, Sep 29 The opposition BNP has protested the government's bid to enact a news portal guideline.
Acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, speaking at a press conference on Saturday, said the government wanted to control the online news portals through the guideline.
The government has drafted the Online Media Guideline 2012.
Information Secretary Hedayetullah Al Mamoon had said on Sep 12 that the guideline would be finalised by October.
He had said 200 online newspapers were currently operating in the country, according to government records. "However, there is no law, guidelines or ordinance on running online news outlets."
Hedayetullah had added that the 'decision' on the online versions of the dailies would be taken through separate discussions.
