Law and Expatriates’ Welfare and Employment Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul has said that anti-people laws, including the Cyber Security Act, will be amended.
Concealing information is an instrument of repression, Asif Nazrul says.
“There is a lack of awareness about rights. Our movement for the right to information has faded. Laws have been enacted but not properly implemented,” he said at a views exchange meeting of the Right to Information Forum on Sunday (September 29).
“The Right to Information Act was formulated during the tenure of the previous government and the Right to Information was also abolished, setting a vile example of anarchy. Arrangements will be made so that these acts are not repeated,” Asif Nazrul said.
Mentioning that concealing information is an instrument of repression, he said, “It is not possible to implement any law without fixing the governance, law and judiciary. We must be vocal about democracy, voting rights, and independence of the judiciary.”
