DHAKA: Continuing with its denial of reports of atrocities against minorities, particularly Hindus, the chief adviser Muhammad Yunus-led interim govt on Monday alleged that Indian media outlets and the ousted Awami League are “spreading disinformation” about Bangladesh ahead of its Feb 12 parliamentary election. “Misinformation is being spread deliberately,” chief adviser’s press secretary Shafiqul Alam said at a conclave.
While the govt is working towards a smooth democratic transition and fair elections, “a narrative is being created abroad suggesting that minorities would not be safe even if democracy is restored in Bangladesh”, Shafiqul said.
