Alhamdulillah! Our paper “Can Honest Headlines Engage? Correcting Misleading Headlines to Improve Credibility, Comprehension, and Engagement” has been accepted to ASONAM 2025 (Multidisciplinary Track). This work comes from one of my dissertation chapters.
It is shameful, @Reuters—your deliberate spread of misinformation risks communal violence. Please hold your reporters accountable.

While the nation is mourning the premature death of its heroes and at the same time celebrating the unbelievable victory, the political party of Hasina, Bangladesh Awami League (BAL), started a new plot to reverse the course of history. They are deploying professional miscreants and gangs to rob houses at the dark of night in different communities to de-stabilize the country and the newly formed interim government led by Noble Laureate Professor Yunus. They are also attacking the religious minority - Hindus and their temples in different places, an old tactic Hasina used time and time again to show the world that in her absence Bangladesh will become an incubator for militant Islam. Most of the major communal violence like those in Ramu of Chittagong, Nasrinagar, Shalla of Sunamganj, etc. occurred during the ruling of Hasina. All these events were found to be perpetrated by ruling BAL leaders, who invariably escaped justice because of their close ties with the regime.
BBC Bangla on August 11, 2024 published a detail news on how Indian accounts are spreading fake news of violence on Hindus in Bangladesh. We urge people of all ideology from India, Bangladesh and from rest of the world to work hand in hand to materialize the aspiration of Bangladeshi people to be a democratic country.

They tag the protesters as anti-nationalists and anti-liberation!!!! Nothing new from them. Over the past 15 years, they used those tags to silence their opponents. #StepDownHasina#GenZrevolution
Bangladesh: As protests continued today, reports of death of nearly 100 people including 14 police officers is extremely concerning.
The state has a duty to create an enabling environment for peaceful assembly. As such, it must take necessary, reasonable and proportionate measures to de-escalate the violence at protests,in order to protect the right to protest.
Amnesty calls upon law enforcement agencies to act with restraint to avoid further serious injury and loss of life. They may only use the minimum level of force necessary to bring a situation under control where doing so is strictly necessary and proportionate. Even in instances where some parts of a protest turn violent, law enforcement must assess the situation on a case-by-case basis with use of force only where absolutely necessary and only against those engaged in violence. It must be strictly proportionate to the situation, which means authorities must not cause more harm than they seek to avert.

@sajeebwazed, @albd1971 are spreading fake news of vandalism of properties blaming protesters. While there is no conclusive evidence, they are clearly trying to stage a riot as their last resort. #StepDownHasina#GenZrevolution
#AllEyesonBangladesh today. Student protesters call for long march to Dhaka demanding #StepDownHasina. This picture is a glimpse of Bangladeshi PM’s atrocities she committed over 15 years. We all want an end to this.
Liar liar, pant on fire. Same strategy from #DictatorHasina and her men to put blame the protestors. Over the years, she tagged everyone as Jamat BNP who opposed her. Her party has solid record of vandalizing minorit’s property before.
#StepDownHasina
#Bangladesh is under attack from #BNP & #Jamaat #Shibir #militants.
Today, across the country, the #terrorists targetedly attacked @albd1971 party offices, law enforcement agents, journalists and civilians. With a view to securing the unconstitutional fall of a govt, the militants -
- Killed at least 14 cops in Cumilla and Sirajganj and injured dozens;
- Killed at least 19 @albd1971 leaders and workers in multiple districts;
-Attacked and burnt dozens of AL party offices;
- Attacked and looted various religious minority properties;
- Attacked and killed a prominent #Hindu community leader and local councilor Haradhan Ray in Rangpur;
- Attacked several #journalists and killed local journo Prodip Kumar Bhaumik in Sirajganj;
- Attacked, burnt, vandalised and/or looted houses/offices of AL leaders in Barisal, Khulna, Kirshoreganj etc.
This is not an exhaustive list, more info are still coming in about killings and destruction, which will be shared in due course.
This is not politics. The criminals are not students. They are terrorists and they must be stopped.
The international community must take note of these terrorist and violent acts that the #Bangladesh Govt is facing and handling on a daily basis. Unfortunately, int'l #media is portraying a very one-sided picture of the events.
