Indian TV channels to be banned in Bangladesh over ‘negative’ cultural impact? Plea filed

Bangladeshi lawyer Ekhlas Uddin Bhuiyan has filed a writ petition in the Bangladesh High Court (HC) seeking a ban on Indian television channels broadcast in the country, as per an ANI report. The Dhaka Tribune first reported this development.

Filed on December 2, the petition cited growing concerns over the impact of Indian media on local society and culture. It asked why a rule instructing the ban should not be issued and sought action from the court under the country’s Cable Television Network Operation Act, 2006.
