New law to protect both digital security and human rights: Information Minister

Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu has said that the planned digital security law would secure digital sphere in micro and macro levels as well as basic human rights alongside rights ensured by the constitution.

“We have to maintain the sanctity of the digital space and at the same time we have to ensure basic human rights. The proposed law is a combination of both,” he told a delegation of Commonwealth Journalists Association (CJA) on Friday night.

Inu said that Bangladesh witnessed many ups and downs since its independence, but the country, under the able leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is now on right track of building a secular and modern Bangladesh where digitization is playing a vital role.

The CJA delegation led by its global president Mohendra Ved included Honourary Secretary Jayanta Roy Chowdhury, Kinshuk Nag of India and CJA Bangladesh chapter general secretary Shyamal Dutt.

Also present were Abdul Jalil Bhuiyan, Subhas Chanda Badal, Osman Ghani Monsur, Humayun Rashid Chowdhury, Parveen Chowdhury and Zahid Newaz Khan.
