The Chief Information Commissioner said, ‘The draft of the Free Flow of Information and Protection Act, 2025 has been published. A groundbreaking law is going to be enacted. Every proposed section in it states that information is the property of the people — not of the government or any official.’

He said, ‘The Right to Information Act will play an important role in preventing misinformation. The country's Constitution recognizes freedom of thought and expression and the right to information as fundamental rights. Ensuring the right to information is essential for the state's transparency, accountability and improvement of governance.’

He further said, ‘Now there are numerous platforms. Many people spread various irrelevant aspects of information on these platforms. This makes it difficult for information to reach accurately. But the correct flow of information will increase people's awareness and help prevent misinformation.’ At the event, presided over by Information Commissioner Dr. Dil Afroze Khanam, speeches were given by Dr. Shyamali Akter, a researcher on the Right to Information Act; former Information Commissioner Nepal Chandra Sarkar; Vice-Chancellor of National University Dr. A S M Amanullah; Executive Director of Bangladesh Mission Initiative Majeda Haque; and others.Nini
