A social media post published on November 9, 2026, revisits claims that the anime Doraemon previously sparked controversy and was temporarily suspended in Bangladesh. This is a retrospective look at a historical event, not news of a new suspension occurring in 2026.
The post claims that some local children once skipped school to watch Doraemon. The program was broadcast in Hindi at the time and was also accused of affecting some children's use of Bengali, with the issue even sparking discussions at the parliamentary level.
However, the available information merely repeats the poster's narrative, without providing the year the events occurred, the specific TV station, the authority that announced the suspension, records of parliamentary discussions, or links to contemporary news reports. It remains unclear how long the suspension lasted, whether broadcasts later resumed, and whether the measures targeted the anime itself, its Hindi version, or specific scheduling arrangements.
