State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasser Khan Choudhury has urged online media outlets to play a constructive role in resisting terrorism, communalism and fascism.
He made the call on Thursday following a meeting with the Online News Paper Owners Association of Bangladesh at the Secretariat.
The state minister said the government was working on the possibility of introducing a policy framework for online media.
He stressed that if such a policy is introduced, the government would make decisions through consultations with all relevant stakeholders.
Yasser Khan added that the government's guiding principle, whatever measures it takes, would remain the same: "Bangladesh First."
