Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today asked all concerned to highlight the facts of any incident alongside protesting the spread of rumours and misinformation in the name of freedom of speech.

"Spreading propaganda is not freedom of speech…there should be immediate protests against any false information….people must know the facts. Staying silent will not help," she said at the regular weekly meeting of the Cabinet at Bangladesh Secretariat. The PM chaired the meeting from her official residence Gono Bhaban through videoconferencing.

"A section of people is trying to spread rumours to taint the government's image, but they will never succeed in fulfilling their ill motives," she said.
