Petition seeks ban on Indian TV channels in Bangladesh
Indian television channels
Dhaka, Dec 3 - A petition has been filed in the High Court seeking the suspension of all Indian television channels' broadcasts within Bangladesh.
Supreme Court lawyer Ekhlas Uddin Bhuiyan submitted the petition on Monday, naming the Information Secretary, Home Secretary, and the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) as respondents.
The motion, grounded in Section 29 of the Cable Television Network Operation Act 2006, urges the High Court to impose a complete ban on Indian TV channels' broadcasts in the country. It further requests the issuance of a rule to determine why an official directive should not be enacted to stop such broadcasts.
According to Bhuiyan, the High Court’s Division Bench is expected to hear the matter later this week.-UNB
