The Government of Bangladesh has instructed Ambassador Md. Monowar Hossain to return to Dhaka immediately. Contrary to social media rumors, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that Myanmar has not declared the ambassador 'persona non grata.' A post circulating online falsely claimed that the ambassador had been expelled and asked to leave immediately. The official Facebook page of the Chief Adviser to the Government of Bangladesh blamed Awami League activists and individuals of Indian descent for spreading the misinformation. Authorities urged the public to verify facts before sharing and to refrain from spreading baseless rumors.
