News Verification: The massive crowd showing the people of Assam protesting against the violence caused on Hindus in Bangladesh is not a recent picture. The picture is not of a protest held against Bangladesh, but from Prime Minister  Narendra Modi’s rally, held in 2019 in Mangalore, Karnataka.

There are multiple pictures from the same event and the same timeline. A user posted on social media in May 2020. He wrote, “These beautiful images of the famous Mangalore Rally of 2019. We in this region treat Modi ji as our own. It was a proud moment for everyone when Modi ji called Coastal Karnataka "The land of nationalists”. Clearly, the images are not recent.
