The patriots of Bangladesh have hurt the hearts of every citizen of Bangladesh for deliberately dishonest purposes through false propaganda. Which is a punishable offense according to the prevailing laws of the country.
It is said there, within 7 days of receiving the notice, he will remove the said hateful, false and defamatory status published on his name page on the social media Facebook and confess his crime and apologize publicly.
