Neutral summary
Physician and former National Citizen Party (NCP) leader Tasnim Jara questioned Jamaat-e-Islami on Monday over its obstruction of the burial of freedom fighter Manik Pashari in Pirojpur. In a Facebook post she asked what Jamaat would do if it gained state power, and said the party had opposed Bangladesh's 1971 independence. Pashari, plaintiff in a crimes-against-humanity case against the late Jamaat leader Delawar Hossain Sayedee, was buried early Sunday in Chitolia village, Pirojpur Sadar upazila, under tight police security, amid hindrance from local Jamaat leaders and activists. According to the family, a first grave dug was filled in by local Jamaat activists, and the burial was completed after midnight with help from village police. Jara said a Jamaat assistant secretary had called Pashari a fake freedom fighter, a claim she attributed to the post. She said verifying status was for state institutions and courts.
Where accounts differ. UNB reports Pashari's burial early Sunday with police security and does not mention the family's account that the first grave was filled in, which only Dainik Purbokone reports; Dainik Purbokone also says he died Saturday at age 87.

About this method
Method. Bias types follow the Table of Media Bias Elements and the Media Bias Taxonomy (both CC BY 4.0). The impartiality rules follow the BBC Editorial Guidelines and the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. This analysis was made by claude-opus-5-5 on rubric 1.0.0. The score is calculated from the seven answers, never generated.
What this is not. No outlet gets a standing bias rating, and there is no left/right axis, because that axis does not describe Bangladeshi politics. Each analysis covers one article about one event. Members' analytics count how each outlet's headlines were labelled over a chosen period, with the number of headlines behind every share, and also show the average score of an outlet's scored articles: that average describes those articles (mostly each story's lead), not the outlet, and outlets are never ranked by it or by any share.
Known limits. Headlines are grouped into stories automatically, so an unrelated headline sometimes slips in; it is shown faded rather than hidden. Where outlets carry the same wire copy, the comparison has little to show. Human annotators agree on bias in Bangla news only moderately (κ = 0.574 at best), which limits what any automated score can claim.
