Cancel National Broadcasting Policy: BNP

Alleging that the government is trying to put the National Broadcasting Policy in place in a bid to gag the media, BNP on Tuesday demanded the ‘black rule’ be annulled forthwith. “The questionable current cabinet which is there by prolonging its tenure through a farcical election has approved the National Broadcasting Policy… It’s mainly a broadcasting control and suppression policy,“ said BNP senior leader Abdul Moyeen Khan. Addressing a press conference, he also said the government with an evil motive is trying to establish its absolute control over the media by keeping a provision of punishment for the violation of the ‘dangerous black policy’, according to a news agency.
