Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's new passport stamp depicts an LTTE symbol.

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review says the stamp was introduced on 1 June 2024 and depicts the Sri Lanka leopard, not the tiger symbol associated with the LTTE. It also says the departure stamp features a peacock.

FACTLYPolitics & government

The video shows a man from West Bengal making objectionable remarks about West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari while referring to cattle sacrifice.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

FACTLY reports that the video shows Sagor Ali, whom his social media accounts identify as a resident of Thakurgaon district in Bangladesh, not West Bengal. The review says it found other videos of Ali mocking Suvendu Adhikari; it does not establish that he is from West Bengal. [S1]

FACTLYImmigration

Video shows illegal Bangladeshi immigrants leaving India for Bangladesh after the Suvendu Adhikari government warned that illegal migrants would be sent to detention camps.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

FACTLY found that the video shows passengers on the Chilahati Express, a domestic Bangladesh Railway service, during the Eid-ul-Adha travel rush—not illegal immigrants leaving India. The review says the footage is unrelated to reports of people moving towards the Bangladesh border after anti-infiltration measures.

Fact Crescendo Sri LankaPolitics & government

Deputy Minister Mohamed Muneer announced that Thesawalamai and Sharia law would be incorporated into Sri Lanka's legal system.

Publisher’s rating: False

Fact Crescendo says the Deputy Minister’s Media Secretary confirmed that Muneer made no such statement, and the Ministry of Justice’s Media Secretary said no discussion of the claimed change had taken place. The review also says the laws already operate in Sri Lanka as personal laws for their respective communities.
