Some leaders and activists of BNP-Jamaat are allegedly circulating baseless propaganda centered around the recent verdict of Indian Supreme Court on the Ayodhya issue.

Concerned sources said the anti-liberation forces are involved in such baseless propaganda in a bid to destroy existing bilateral relations between Bangladesh and India. The romour-mongers, with their deep-rooted conspiracy for destroying the communal harmony between Muslim and Hindu communities in Bangladesh, are involved in widely circulating the rumour.

The romour mongers in their various posts in different social media claimed Modi had written a letter to the Indian Chief Justice over the Ram Mandir issue. However, leading jurists said no Prime Minister in the world can write a letter to Chief Justice in any issue and the Indian Prime Minister did not write any such letter to Indian Chief justice over Babri Mosque verdict.

Law enforcing agencies are trying to identify the masterminds behind the ill-motivated campaign, sources said. India has strongly condemned a fake letter circulating in Bangladesh's local media claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi.

“We strongly condemn those responsible for deliberately spreading such fake and malicious news, to divide communities, create disharmony and undermine friendship between the people of India and Bangladesh,” Indian External Affairs Ministry Raveesh Kumar said on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday.

He attached a statement by the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, terming the letter as fake and malicious". "It is intended to mislead people in Bangladesh and create social disharmony. It is most egregious, and wrong on part of those who are deliberately circulating fake and incorrect information to create misunderstanding about India in the public domain," the statement said.
