Teeth Maestro informs that on request from Pakistan UAE has imposed a ban on the airing of Geo TV program ‘Meray Mutabiq’ by Dr. Shahid Masood. The blogger comments: “I’m sure he may have been touching on some sensitive topics which more-or-less will most likely have to do with the NRO and Mr. Asif Ali Zardari being the top celebrity featured on that dis-honest list.”

This is a full of shit.
This is the promised DIGITAL BANGLADESH by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
No banning can bring a good result. This should not be the way to protect information. We’re still suffering for the error of govt since 1991 by rejecting submarine cable by way of saving our valuable (!) information.
piece of shit curse the goverment punish the culprits who leaked that tape do not punish youtube.govt is so dumb.this is how u start a digital bangladesh by banning the most popular file sharing website in the world?
