The Bangladesh Army has urged the public to remain cautious about false and baseless propaganda being spread on social media involving Chief of Army Staff General Waker-uz-Zaman regarding election management.

In a statement posted on its verified Facebook page on Friday, the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) said, “It has recently been observed that various types of propaganda are being circulated on social media involving the Chief of Army Staff in connection with election management.”

The public is being sincerely requested to stay alert and not be misled by such false and baseless campaigns,” the post added.

The post also included screenshots of six fake social media posts spreading misinformation about the Army Chief in the context of the upcoming election.

It further mentioned that a similar warning was issued earlier on June 19 against the spread of such fabricated information.
