Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has accused Indian media outlets and the Awami League of continuously spreading misinformation about Bangladesh. He made the allegation on Monday, February 2, during a policy conclave titled ‘Policy Conclave on Misinformation: Challenges to Governance and Democracy’ held at the central auditorium of Dhaka International University.
Alam claimed that several Indian newspapers, including widely read ones, have consistently published false information about Bangladesh. He said India is deliberately spreading misinformation and disinformation, and that this trend has intensified over the past 18 months. According to him, Bangladesh has never faced such a situation in its 54-year history. He also questioned whether these actions were being orchestrated by external influences.
The press secretary further stated that misinformation poses a major challenge to democracy and governance, with both local and external sources contributing to the problem. He criticized the media for failing to act as the voice of the people and for being fearful of public backlash, urging journalists to overcome this fear.
