Wednesday, 23 June 2010
Hoisting flags of favourite teams of the World Cup Football in the country has no legal basis, reports UNB.
Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed Tuesday said in the Parliament that there is no legal basis for hoisting flags of other countries in Bangladesh, as is seen these days, for supporting the teams in the World Cup.
He was replying to a written question from Awami League lawmaker Apu Ukil (women seat-2).
But the Minister said the government has no plan to take any action against the youths who hoisted flags of their favourite countries, as this is a "sensitive" matter.
In this regard, he advocated for a move to create awareness through television, radio and newspapers so that the youths refrain from such activities.
