Indian news portal 'Northeast News' has been shut down in Bangladesh. The portal came into discussion by publishing articles on Bangladesh politics.

The news portal has been shut down by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). In late September, BTRC directed mobile operators and international internet gateway operators in an e-mail to take measures to prevent the portal from being viewed. This e-mail has been seen by this reporter. It says that the site is being shut down as per the government's decision.

Online based Northeast Portal publishes North East India focused news. Recently, an Indian journalist named Chandan Nandi published several articles on the politics and visa policy of Bangladesh on the website. As a result the site got some recognition in Bangladesh as well.

Northeast's website could not be accessed after several attempts on Tuesday evening and night.

It seems the discussion in this Indian news portal about BD affairs has jittered dictator Begum Hasina.

The BAL govt has banned newspapers that speaks the truth. Minister Hassan Mahmud creates news and BD newspapers are forced to publish them.

But, Indian newspapers are not his subjects. BAL claims that BD development has reached such a stage that it will soon surpass American economy.

This is when millions of people flee to work in other countries. A developing country is called developing because its industries create jobs.

No jobs means, no industrialization and no job creation. Govt gives us brilliant GDP figures to hide its failures.

Joy Bangladesh!!!

If true the news are indeed big revelation. I am not sure how Chandan Nandy has that much intelligence regarding Bangladesh. Interestingly Government has not denied any of the news so far.

Bangladesh electoral reforms panel may propose voting rights for 8 million diaspora

Bangladesh’s Electoral System Reform Commission, formed by the Mohammad Yunus-led interim government as late as October 3, will likely recommend

Banning newspapers is one of the strongest points of BAL. It reminds me of BAKSAL.

Chandon Nandy must be a brilliant journalist. Pinsky Bhattacharya regularly refers to his news when commenting.

Nandy must have his own sources in BD who are unable to expose truths in BD newspapers for fear of bullying by the govt.

By the way, I personally do not have ideas why Hasina is showing don’t care attitude when the rival is an unrivaled power.

On another thought, Hasina cannot stay in power tomorrow if she shows weakness today. This is why she may be showing a stern attitude.

Hasina thinks as long as India is with her, nobody can throw her out of power. Her frightening bellicosity even appalled the US officials.

She is being shielded by China.

India has zero leverage in BD.

I beg to differ. It is india who is sincerely supporting Hasina. China is paying just lip service to Hasina.
