'Fake news': Yunus plays down violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh; claims not under his watch
Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus dismissed widespread reports of anti-Hindu violence as "fake news," accusing India of spreading misinformation. He insisted incidents were ordinary disputes, not religious persecution, advising Hindus to seek protection as citizens. This stance drew sharp criticism from minority groups, who accused him of denying the truth and backtracking on previous admissions.
