Bangladesh Army dismisses report by Indian outlet as ‘deliberate disinformation’
PARBATTA NEWS DESK
The Bangladesh Army has rejected a report by India-based outlet Northeast News as false, calling it a “clear example of deliberate disinformation.”
The report had claimed that Bangladesh was planning to declare the Cox’s Bazar–Bandarban region a military operation zone and accused the army of supporting insurgent groups.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Bangladesh Army said, “It is a clear example of deliberate disinformation propagated by segments of the Indian media seeking to destabilise Bangladesh’s internal harmony and undermine its armed forces.”
“The insinuation that the Bangladesh Army supports insurgent actors is not only baseless but malicious,” it added. “Such speculative reporting, devoid of evidence, reflects a broader agenda to sow discord and mislead the public.”
The army said it remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and to defending the nation’s sovereignty, integrity, and constitutional order.
“There will be no compromise on national interest—now or ever,” the statement said.
“This narrative is not journalism; it is part of a sustained smear campaign. Bangladesh stands united and firmly aligned in defence of its people and its territory,” it added.
