Lawmaker smells rat in Bangladesh telecoms law


Posted on June 30, 2010  /  1 Comments

Hasanul Haq Inu chairs the parliamentary standing committee on telecoms ministry. This treasury bench lawmaker has been critical about the proposed amendments of the telecoms law. Inu’s committee has been scrutinizing the amendments before the parliament approves it.

Yesterday he said in a public event, “Such an unfriendly bill must be changed,” according to press reports. Inu has also urged the prime minister “to be careful about the conspiracy against her digital Bangladesh dream.”

These are, by far, the most serious remarks from the government’s coalition partner on the proposed telecoms bill. Inu rightly calls it an “unfriendly bill” as it punishes the consumers and affects investors’ confidence, said another report.
