In the question and answer session, the Law Minister answered the questions of the journalists about various sections and penalties of the law.

On Monday (August 7), the Cabinet meeting approved the Cyber Security Act, almost all of the much-discussed Digital Security Act remained in the proposed law, so the question of many was whether the Digital Security Act is repealed?

Palak said that the draft of the proposed cyber security law was given on the website on Wednesday. The opinion of the participants will be taken. Two weeks have been fixed for this purpose.
