Dhaka, Jun 6 (bdnews24.com) ? Member of Parliament A N Mahfuza Khatun Baby Maudud has requested Information Minister Abul Kalam Azad to start registration system for online news portals as in case of newspapers. She made the call while speaking in parliament on Wednesday, raising a notice on urgent public affairs.
"Online news portals are being coming up one after another like mushrooms. Just after installing a few computers, people claim to have started news portals.
"They do not follow the journalistic ethics," Baby Maudud, an MP from seats reserved for women, said.
"Those organisations claim facilities on par with news establishments. The government also doesn't seem to have any control over them," she said.
"There are some renowned online news agencies in Bangladesh. They pay taxes to the government. But the others don't have any such accountability," she added.
