Misinformation
Myth appears to creep into all your reports and it is now spiralling upward to your editorials as well.
Let this be recorded that there are historically no known 'images', photographs or statues in existence of our venerated sage anywhere in the world, and a lithograph going about (and often seen in posters/T-shirts and even newspapers) is not that of our Shaiji!
Indeed if at all- it is a representative of bauls--any baul for the matter.
Yours is probably the only newspaper that continues to write that a figurative representative of Fakir Lalon Shah was among five sculptures demolished by bigots last Wednesday opposite the Dhaka Airport. It is far from the truth, and most disturbingly lends credence to the bigots' claims that there was an attempt to raise an 'idol' of Shaiji misinformation of devastating consequence!
