Chief Adviser’s Press Wing today said key pro-Awami League (AL) figures circulated false narratives surrounding violent clashes erupted in Gopalganj by posting multiple old and unrelated images in social media platforms.

“On July 16, social media platforms saw a wave of posts from accounts affiliated with the banned Awami League (AL), aimed at shaping the narrative surrounding violent clashes that erupted in Gopalganj earlier in the day,” the press wing said in a statement.

The statement was shared at the press wing’s verified Facebook page – CA Press Wing Facts.

It said a coordinated propaganda effort involving key pro-AL figures circulated multiple old and unrelated images, falsely claiming they depicted scenes from the day’s unrest.

Key figures including former Chhatra League leader S.M. Jakir Hossain and ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s former press aide Ashraful Alam Khokan posted images alleging that the “Yunus gang” and opposition activists were violently attacking civilians, according to the statement. বিস্তারিত
