Army calls on all not to be misled by false info, propaganda

The Bangladesh Army has requested the people of the country not to be misled by the false and misleading propaganda being spread by certain vested groups through various foreign media and social media platforms.

This propaganda aims to tarnish the image of the Bangladesh Army both domestically and internationally, according to a release from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).

"The main objective is to undermine the army's reputation at home and abroad," the release stated.

The Bangladesh Army said that it operates in aid to the civil administration, adhering to existing laws and upholding the country's constitution to maintain law and order, ensure the safety of people and property, and restore normalcy in public life.

The army called for public cooperation to prevent confusion caused by such misleading information and news propagated by these vested groups.

"The Bangladesh Army remains committed to the people, always ready to serve the interests of the nation," the release added.

Amid a deteriorating security situation across the country, the army has been deployed in their respective areas of responsibility since the morning of July 20, 2024, to provide overall security to the public and protect key installations. The presence of the army on the ground, alongside other forces, has helped quickly control the law and order situation and address the anarchy, the ISPR noted.
