The High Court has verbally directed the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission to remove all defamatory videos and audios of State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Murad Hasan from online platforms and social media within 24 hours.
When Supreme Court lawyer Syed Saidul Haque Sumon applied for necessary directions in this regard, the High Court bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Md Mostafizur Rahman passed the order.
Deputy Attorney General Bipul Bagmar has been given the responsibility to inform the BTRC about the court order. The court has also been asked to complete the work as per the instructions by tomorrow.
Syed Saidul Haque Sumon told the court that it was necessary to remove the obscene audio-videos of the Minister of State for Information from social media as a matter of urgency. If not removed, young children will become mentally ill after hearing such abusive and obscene language. So, I am asking for guidance from BTRC to remove these obscene audio-videos quickly.
