Misinformation is a serious issue when it comes to spoiling relations with our neighbors- whether jts China, Pakistan, Maldives and now Bangladesh. Ever since Begum Hasina was ousted the communally divisive eco system has gone on an over drive. Mostly located in the Hindu nationalists space those spreading fake news are claiming that a gebocide at par has taken place against Hindus of Bangladesh: last heard only a few have died. The Hindu genocide in Bangladesh hy Muslims - fake news is meant to put those on the defensive who raise the violence in Gaza issue. That’s why Priyanka was attacked when she sported a tote bag with Palestine emblazoned on it. To mollify majority opinion she was compelled to carry a tote bag about human rights violations against Hindus and Christian’s minorities in Bangladesh. The big issue that no one talks abouy it- who will benefit from the spread of fake news? What’s visible is what’s true.
