The Daily Star has a history of making mountains out of molehills. This time was no exception. This was the link: http://www.thedailystar.net/beta2/news/thousands-gather-at-shahbagh/ in which the Daily Star initially said “thousands had gathered in shahbagh” (the article link is proof enough) while a modified article later said that ” Hundreds gather at Shahbag.”
One would have expected that a notable news outlet such as the Daily Star would have published a set of pictures or even one picture to substantiate the claim? Well apparently they didn’t have the guts. So they published a picture from as far back as February 15 when the pastures around Shahbag looked less concrete and more fleshy and people were more foolish enough to believe anything a puppet called Imran H Sarker had to blabber on about the ghastly Jamaat and its stance against In(dia-d)ependent Bangladesh.
So what was Shahbag actually like? Lets have a panorama sneak peak :p
