It is a right decision
It's good news that the government has decided to shut down some satellite channels. We will ask the government to shut down all the satellite channels, except channels like BBC, Discovery Channels and National Geography.
There are only four indigenous TV channels in Singapore. If a country like Singapore, where per capita income is more then USD thirty thousand, then why can't we?
Introducing satellite culture in one of the poorest countries like Bangladesh was a wrong decision taken by the previous BNP government. This satellite culture, along with some other factors, has created two nations in Bangladesh. One is poor and the other is rich.
The youths, who watch these channels, are losing ties with the soil of the country, and developing an alien taste. It's not a good sign for the future of the nation.

Congratulations to Information Minister Tariqul Islam on his bold decision to ban satellite channels that jeopardise our Islamic values and goes against the values of our Muslim society. In the name of entertainment we cannot allow pornography.
I wonder why The Daily Star correspondent wrote everything against such a good decision. Being a national daily of a Muslim country of 140 million people what are these correspondents trying to achieve by writing this type of news item?
How come this correspondent find so many interviewees all of whom could express their opinion against the government's such a noble decision? Couldn't this correspondent find at least one interviewee who would appreciate government's decision?
I happened to speak with many of my friends and relatives about the contents of these satellite channels. All of them expressed their concern against viewing these anti-Islamic and anti-cultural shows.
We are Muslims. We belong to the greatest religion. But we
never care to follow the instructions of Allah sent to us through Quran. These days, very few of our political leaders or even these newspapers encourage our Muslim population to follow the instructions of Quran and Hadith.
Thanks to the Information Minister one more time, and thanks to the satellite operators and distributors for expressing their solidarity with the people's sentiment spontaneously by closing down harmful satellite channels.
