In Sitakunda, Chattogram, local sources and political observers have accused the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) of deliberately spreading misinformation on social media regarding a picnic organized by former Jamaat-e-Islami leader Tawhidul Haque Chowdhury. The event, held at the foothills of Chandranath Hill, reportedly included participants from Hindu and Buddhist communities. However, posts circulated online falsely claimed that the picnic involved cow slaughter at a Hindu pilgrimage site, sparking communal tension. Community leaders, including Puja Committee officials, dismissed the allegations as fabricated and politically motivated. They stated that the meat was prepared offsite and that the picnic area was far from any temple or cremation ground. Local residents confirmed the location is a common picnic spot used by various social groups. Jamaat representatives alleged that the rumors were part of a broader attempt to divert attention from ongoing political controversies and disrupt communal harmony. Authorities and civic leaders have urged restraint and fact-based reporting to prevent further unrest in the region.
