Critics pointed out that lawyer Sankha Amarajit presented distorted information without even reviewing the relevant gazette notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Highlighting these discrepancies, young female journalist Fathima Sumeya released a detailed video explaining the actual facts and clarifying the context behind the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full video detailing her explanation is featured below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9
