A Supreme Court lawyer has sent a legal
notice to the government asking for an
end to the telecast of Indian TV channels
in Bangladesh within 24 hours.
Ekhlas Uddin Bhuiyan sent copies of the
notice to the information minister,
information secretary and Bangladesh
Telecommunication Regulatory Commission
(BTRC) chairman trough registered post.
The lawyer told bdnews24.com that a writ
petition would be filed if the government
failed to stop the telecast of Indian TV
programmes within stated time.
The notice says though cable operators give
access to Indian TV channels in Bangladesh,
the gesture is not reciprocated in India,
where Bangladeshi TV stations are not
allowed to be shown.
Referring to media reports, it says local
channels are losing viewers ‘due to
unabated broadcast’ of Indian TV
programmes.
“The country is losing its culture. The
programmes are having a negative impact
on the juveniles and youths. Two persons
committed suicide for not being able to buy
the dresses worn by a character of a latest
serial aired on an Indian TV channel,” the
notice adds.
It says the dresses named after a character,
Pakhi, of serial ‘Bojhe Na Se Bojhe Na’ aired
by ‘Star Jalsa’ saw huge demand in
Bangladesh in this year’s Eid.
It the letter also says that domestic helps
have become so attached to these serials
that they refuse to work unless they are
allowed to see them. Notice to stop distribution of Indian channels - bdnews24.com
