“Cyber Security Act is not only for journalists, it is for everyone,” said Bangladesh Press Council Chairman Justice Md. Nizamul Haque Nasim. Participating in a seminar and discussion meeting in Chuadanga, he said, ‘There is a specific law for journalists, which is the Press Council Act. The rest of the laws are not specific to journalists, these laws are the same for everyone. All laws are people-friendly in the prevailing style of the country. If it is not properly implemented then that law is anti-human.’
The Chairman of Bangladesh Press Council made this comment in the seminar and discussion meeting titled ‘Prevention of Yellow Journalism and Objective Journalism’ organized by Press Council at Chuadanga Circuit House on Thursday (September 14) in the morning.
