Bangladesh: Gov't minister says national ID cards to be compulsory

National identity (ID) cards would be made compulsory for every citizen of the country by amending the citizenship act, said Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday.

'If necessary laws will be amended to make national ID cards compulsory because laws are for the people's welfare,' he told reporters after a meeting with Home Minister Sahara Khatun and State Minister for Home Affairs Tanjim Ahmad Sohel Taj at the home ministry.

Muhith also hinted that in future none would be able to claim citizenship of Bangladesh without the national ID card and Tax Identification Number (TIN) would also not be given without it.
