Photoshopped pic of Sayedee used to instigate Bogra
violence
Staff Correspondent
Absurd it may look, but a picture of convicted war
criminal Delawar Hossain Sayedee superimposed on the face of moon posted in
Jamaat-Shibir Facebook page “Basherkella” was actually sold to a large number

Jamaat-Shibir activists through cell phones and computers.
The caption reads: From late Friday night to early

moon). Such an image is God's sign that true devotees are honoured in different
ways. […]
