A video of a Rally in Bangladesh is going viral on social media. While sharing the video users claim that “Saffron flood on the streets of Dhaka Hindus of Bangladesh have taken to the streets to protest against the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh”.
Fact Check
On investigation, DFRAC found that this video was from 2023. We found a similar picture on the Facebook page of Fahmi Gulandaz Babel posted on 1 September 2023 stating “Gafargaon Upazila Chhatra League and Municipal Chhatra League organized by Bangladesh Chhatra League in commemoration of “Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatun Necha Mujib”. (English Translation)
Furthermore, we found a similar video on YouTube titled “Under the leadership of Fahmi Gulandaz Babel MP, Rajpath Kampalo Gafargaon Upazila Chhatra League of Dhaka again” uploaded on 2 September 2023.
Conclusion
It is evident from the DFRAC’s fact check that this video dates back to 2023 and from a rally organized by the Bangladesh Chhatra League not from the Bangladeshi Hindus protest. Therefore, the claim of social media users is misleading.
