UNB, Dhaka :
Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu said 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 will have to maintain the sanctity of the digital space and at the same time we will have to ensure basic human rights. The proposed law is a combination of both,” he told a delegation of Commonwealth

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, said a press release on Saturday.
