Officials at the public administration ministry acknowledged the notification contained a legal error and said a revised version would be issued. State Minister for Public Administration Abdul Bari told this newspaper that The Daily Star had “correctly pointed out the error” and that a fresh notification would be issued soon. Jesin, a media personality, was appointed BTV DG on Thursday under the “Bangladesh Television Authority Act, 2001”. However, neither the information ministry nor the public administration ministry could confirm whether the act is in force. This means that although parliament passed the law, it has never taken effect.
