Dhaka: Law Minister Anisul Huq said the redrafting of the proposed Digital Security Act is under the government's consideration.
He came up with the assurance on Tuesday after holding a meeting with members of Editors' Council, Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ), Association of Television Channel Owners (ATCO), and the parliamentary standing committee on post, telecommunications and ICT.
The journalist community placed several numbers of demands regarding Sections 8, 21, 25, 29, 32 and 43 of the act.
Earlier, the much-debated Digital Security Bill-2018 was placed in parliament amid the concern of the main opposition in the parliament in April.
Telecom and ICT Minister Mustafa Jabbar placed the proposed law before the House, which was sent to the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry concerned for scrutinising it.
The committee had also been asked to submit a report to parliament within four weeks.
