BNP leaders slammed the government for pushing through a major telecom policy without asking anyone first. The opposition party thinks officials should wait until after the national election before making such important decisions. Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir spoke at a press meeting at Khaleda Zia's Gulshan office about the controversial draft. He called the move rushed and unfair to everyone involved. The party secretary general warned that forcing through the policy right before voting would be wrong.
The new rules from BTRC aim to make phone and internet licenses easier to obtain across the country. Rural areas would get better digital services under the proposed changes. Technology companies could advance faster with less red tape holding them back. BNP admits these goals sound good on paper. However, party leaders found serious problems after reading the full document.
The draft policy could hurt small businesses and local entrepreneurs according to opposition analysis. Big mobile network operators might benefit unfairly from the new regulations. Small and medium companies could struggle to compete under the proposed system. BNP wants more people involved before any final decisions happen. Abdul Moyeen Khan accused the government of skipping important consultations with experts and political parties.
Opposition leaders promised to keep fighting for fair digital development across Bangladesh. They want to protect the country's digital security and independence. The party believes rushing major policy changes before elections damages democracy.
