BNP has alleged that the government has launched an ‘ugly cyber war’ against the party with public money ahead of the parliamentary election.
“The government started a using widespread propaganda on the social networking sites against Tarique Rahman to halt the movement for Khaleda Zia’s release,” said the party senior joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi at a press conference at BNP central office on Saturday.
Rizvi alleged that the ruling party’s paid online activists are carrying out propaganda against Zia family without any document.
“Various spiteful superimposed photos and fake audios and videos are being spread on the Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other social media sites,” said the BNP leader.
He said the government is trying to confuse voters and divert their attention to a different direction from their 10 year’s misrule, plundering, repressive acts and killing and enforced disappearance by carrying out false, fabricated, baseless and indecent propaganda.
Rizvi said the ruling party is using over 50 online portals, YouTube channel and Facebook groups, including Bangla Insider, Bangla News Post, Amader Rajniti, News for All, Chobir Moto Desh, Bangladeshi Viral Videos, Chairman Sab, Guerrilla-71, Cyber Force-71, Bangabandhu Cyber Force, Bangabandhu Digital Brigade, Aam Janata, Bhorer Pataa and Gujobe Kan Diben Na, in conducting the offensive campaign.
“They’re spending thousands of dollars for boosting such posts from fake Facebook IDs,” he said.
The BNP leader urged the government to refrain from carrying out such false campaign, and practice positive politics.
He also warned that people will give a befitting reply to Awami League’s false campaign through the ballot in the next polls.
