Awami League worried over fake FB accounts of PM Hasina's family
The Awami League has appealed to all those operating fake Facebook accounts in the name of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her family members to close them down.

The appeal has been posted on Bangladesh Awami League’s official Facebook page.
It said that fake Facebook pages are being operated in the name of the Prime Minister, her younger sister Sheikh Rehana , her daughter Saima Hossain Putul and Rehana's son Radwan Mujib.
The Awami League Facebook post said that neither Hasina nor Rehana, Putul, Radwan have any Facebook page -- so the accounts in their name are all fake and operated by 'mischief makers’.
Another Facebook page is operated in the name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, though the Father of the Nation was killed in 1975. That is obviously fake.
Only Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, also Information Technology Advisor to the Prime Minister, maintains a Facebook page and his updates often make news.
Joy's official Facebook page link is https://www.facebook.com/sajeeb.a.wazed.
The Awami League's Facebook page link is https://www.facebook.com/awamileague.1949
The Awami League post says that very often misleading updates are being posted in the accounts run in the name of Sheikh Hasina, Sheikh Rehana, Saima Putul and Radawan Mujib.
What adds to the problem is that the admin of these pages claim to be 'official' -- the Awami League described that as a 'totally false claim'.
The Awami League post appealed to the admin of these pages to signpost them as 'Unpublished’.
It identified the following Facebook accounts—some in private names and two in the name of Awami League—as fake.
