DHAKA, Jan 1, 2025 (BSS) - A recent report of Indian Zeenews titled "DNA Exclusive: Analysing Mohammad Yunus’s Alleged Operation Octopus In Bangladesh" is completely false and fabricated, says chief adviser's press wing.

"The news item published in India's Zeenews is completely false and fabricated," the press wing said in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page - CA Press Wing Facts - yesterday. 

It claimed that the news item was a part of a well-calibrated propaganda campaign launched by the Indian media against the Professor Yunus-led interim government of Bangladesh.

"We categorically deny every content of the story and request all not to pay any attention to such propaganda carried out with ill intentions to destabilise Bangladesh," the statement read.

Soon after assuming the leadership of the interim government, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus invited Indian media to visit Bangladesh and report events from the ground.

Unfortunately, the CA press wing said even some of the respected Indian media have decided not to respond and instead kept on inventing stories by conveniently quoting unnamed sources.
