The BNP Media Cell on Monday issued a warning over the formation and promotion of fake committees in different districts under its name.

It also urged party leaders, activists and the public to remain cautious about fraudulent social media pages, groups and communities claiming affiliation with the Media Cell.

The warning came in a statement signed by BNP Media Cell Convener Prof Dr Moudud Hossain Alamgir Pavel.

According to the statement, the BNP Media Cell has recently noticed the announcement and circulation of fake committees in several districts under the banner of the BNP Media Cell. It also said various fake pages, groups and online communities are operating on social media using the Media Cell’s name.

The statement clarified that, apart from the central committee of the BNP Media Cell, no district or city-level committee has been formed anywhere in the country under that name.

It further said individuals or groups claiming to be approved Media Cell committees have no affiliation with the BNP Media Cell.

The BNP Media Cell warned that those involved in issuing or promoting unauthorised and fake committees could face allegations of violating party discipline.

The statement also urged party leaders, activists, journalists and the public to remain alert and avoid being misled by such unauthorised information and committee lists.
