Don’t post status on social media without knowing facts

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Thursday urged all to refrain from posting any status on social networking sites without knowing the truth.

“Rumor is like a matchbox. A devastating fire can be originated from a single stick and rumor works like the same way, which also can destroy the social and political stability of a country,” he said.

The Home Minister came up with the remarks at the inaugural ceremony of an awareness advertisement (TVC) on anti-rumour with the slogan ‘Stop Lies, Know the Truth’ at the media center of rapid Action Battalion (Rab) in the city’s Karwan Bazar area.

“Now we are passing a time where people can easily be involved in spreading rumours which is a criminal offence. Those who are involved in it will be identified,” he added.A cybercrime cell was formed by the elite force, said the Minister.
