He made the remarks while addressing a function at the National Press Club on Sunday amid ongoing protests over rapes across the country.

Hasan Mahmud said that it is now much easier to navigate any field in the free world of information technology. Although the government has shut down many porn sites, they can be accessed through other sites.

“There are other entertainment platforms that clash with the values ​​of our country.

What our children see and what they see affects our children. That’s the most decent thing to do and it should end there. “

Stronger laws have been called for to prevent rape and violence against women. The guarantee to do so also comes from the government.

However, Hasan Mahmud believes that toughening the law will not be the ultimate solution to the problem.

“I don’t think it’s easy to get rid of it by tightening the law or enforcing the law,” he said. That requires a change of heart. “

Awami League Deputy General Secretary Hasan Mahmud also spoke about BNP on the occasion.

“We can see that when the BNP talks about a movement against the government, they have started a movement within their party. Its leaders and activists threw rotten eggs at the home of Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir. Rizvi Ahmed went to Kurigram to hold a meeting, where the two sides fought and thwarted the meeting. “

“Those who cannot build their own team. Those who do not like their own workers, how will they be liked by the people of the country? All these words are empty words, ”said the Information Minister.

Hasan Mahmud also thinks that throwing eggs at Mirza Fakhrul’s house may be due to the “nomination trade.”

He said, “BNP has given 90 nominations in 300 seats in the last election. It has never happened in the history of Bangladesh, if it will happen in the future, there are doubts.

“I found out from the newspapers that first the person who gave the money was nominated, then someone else was nominated because they paid more.”

Hasan Mahmud spoke on the occasion of the Chittagong Division’s ‘Honor to Illustrated Journalist’ award.

Former Information Advisor to Prime Minister Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, President of the National Press Club Saiful Islam, Secretary General Farida Yasmin, President of the Dhaka Union of Journalists Quddus Afrad, Deputy Secretary General of the National Press Club Shahed Chowdhury, the General Secretary of the Federal Union of Journalists of Bangladesh, Shaban Mahmud, addressed the meeting.
