Bangladesh Sanatan Jagaran Mancha?

[edit]

Does this group warrant explanation in the article? I'm entirely unfamiliar with the subject or events surrounding him, and I'm having difficulty finding an explanation for what BSJM is on or off wiki. As it doesn't appear to have its own article, is an explanation unnecessary for people familiar enough with the subject to find his wikipedia article? If not, I think it would be helpful to explain in the lead where it's mentioned. LaffyTaffer (talk) 22:29, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've created a very basic page on this. Most of the other information that I see are in the social media. Datta (talk) 00:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relying exclusively on Daily Inqilab?

[edit]

According to Daily Inqilab reports, Chinmoy was allegedly linked to an acid attack on army and police personnel in Chittagong’s Hazari Lane in 2024. He was also accused of exploiting his role at the ISKCON Provartak Temple, where allegations of coercion and abuse of orphans led to his expulsion from the temple.Further allegations against him include occupying a pond owned by BNP Vice-Chairman Mir Mohammad Nasiruddin in Hathazari and disrespecting the national flag by replacing it with a saffron flag at a public event in Chittagong's New Market area.Chinmoy also faced accusations of orchestrating programs aimed at creating communal unrest and embarrassing the interim government of Bangladesh.

This paragraph in controversies relies heavily on a single source, Daily Inqilab, which is not widely considered a reliable source in Bangladesh. According to its Wikipedia article, the news portal has faced multiple accusations of spreading fake news. Furthermore, its founder, Abdul Mannan, has been accused of war crimes during Bangladesh's Liberation War, raising questions about the newspaper's credibility. As a result, Daily Inqilab is not deemed a notable or trustworthy source, and its statements should not be prominently featured on a Wikipedia page.

Inqilab as a source is used widely in other Wikipedia articles. You must give additional infos regarding dismantling any source or provide any other reliable regarding the very info. Ahammed Saad (talk) 10:30, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Afootsquab you cannot just remove any info without any consensus, it goes against Wikipedia guidelines. I have added an inline sign regarding the topic. Let the discussion be go on, or please provide more reliable source. Ahammed Saad (talk) 10:37, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Daily Inqilab has a circulation of over 150,000 and is one of the leading national daily newspapers in Bangladesh. While its founder passed away a long time ago and was accused of war crimes, being accused does not automatically prove guilt. Similarly, using this accusation as a basis to deem the newspaper unreliable is not a logically sound conclusion. —MdsShakil (talk) 11:47, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to both Wikipedia and The Daily Star, this news portal has repeatedly been accused of spreading fake news. Notably, it is the only outlet to publish this biased, undocumented, and unsubstantiated story, further underscoring its lack of credibility. A high circulation number does not equate to reliability or notability. Let’s not overlook the fact that this portal has a track record of disseminating false information. Afootsquab (talk) 14:30, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally I want to add to Afootsquab's point that Daily Inqilab has removed that article from their page, which shows that this was created to create a rumor. This article is nowhere to be found, other than in some anti-Hindu and anti-minority social media pages. Also, Chinmoy Krishna Das is not part of ISKCON Provartak Temple, as this portion claims. Multiple sources claim otherwise online.Datta (talk) 00:37, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
