India's disregard for international water laws is causing significant harm to Bangladesh by diverting river water flow.

India has created an artificial flood in Bangladesh by releasing water from its dams and you still wonder why people hate India so much?

[David Bergman @TheDavidBergman]

This is pure craziness. Names taken out of a hat. Are we back in a situation where anyone can file a criminal case in #bangladesh against anyone else, even without a scintilla of evidence, presumably due to some personal or political grievance? How are Shahriar Kabir, president of the Ekattorer Ghatak Dalal Nirmul Committee, historian Muntasir Mamun and Imran H Sarker, convener of the Ganajagaran Mancha, in any way complicit in the deaths at the Hefazet rally back in 2013. This is abusive and highly intimidating. It must stop. Why is the government, law minister and home minister so completely silent?

[Rumor Scanner @RumorScanner]

X (formerly Twitter) is flooded with Bangladesh related communal rumors.

In the last 4 days, Rumor Scanner team has identified at least 20 such rumors spread by Indian accounts.

In the first part of these communal rumors, a total of 10 fact-checks are provided below...

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Several Indian media outlets have circulated videos claiming that Hindus are being targeted by ‘Islamist forces’ in Bangladesh.

Analysts say that while there have been attacks on minorities during the political unrest, the media is exaggerating the scale.

[. @milkyrona]

I don't understand Hindus in Bangladesh are saying they are fine and safe in Facebook but why Indian Hindus are spreading propaganda on Twitter that Hindus aren't safe in Bangladesh?

Students are standing guard to protect the different #Hindu Temples. Those photos were taken at midnight. Don't trust propaganda and rumors! We, this generation, are committed to ensuring the safety of all minorities in Bangladesh. 🇧🇩

[Angshuman Choudhury @angshuman_ch]

I, like many of my progressive friends, have no qualms in saying that Hindu minorities in Bangladesh need to be protected from attacks by Islamist mobs.

But can the Indian RW make a similar call to protect Indian Muslims from Hindutva mobs? Doubt it. That’s the difference.

[Melody Soptaka @Soptaka]

@Bazingaaaa_a This is a PR stunt from a party that had been banned by the court already. Please, do not ruin what our students have built and are building.

So that's her final and deadliest plan. To create this chaos among religions:) remember her goons are still moving freely, setting fire in Mondirs:) It's not the time for clashes among ourselves. Please let's not blame an individual religion for this:)

[Melody Soptaka @Soptaka]

To add more, people are coming forward, forming small groups to stand watch in front of Hindu houses and mandirs. Hindu people are also appreciating this and letting us know how we can help them.

[Melody Soptaka @Soptaka]

Two questions -
1. Were Hindus attacked last night?
2. Is Indian media telling the truth?

#BangladeshWithHindus
#StopPropaganda

[Melody Soptaka @Soptaka]

2. NO. They are just spreading misinformation with older videos and images. This will create a pathway for the Indian government to interfere in Bangladesh.

[Melody Soptaka @Soptaka]

1. Yes. Some of the houses and mandirs were attacked last night. Vandalists took the opportunity to launch these attacks since the country is in a vulnerable state without any government.
