[bdNOG] FW: .bangla IDN misleading news in Bangladesh.

Fri Jun 26 09:08:44 BDT 2015

Strange news! I suggest you contact the state minister for ICT division Mr.
Zunaid Ahmed Palak about this. He is very enthusiastic about ICT and might
push the ICT ministry officials in the appropriate direction

Ragib
