Bangladesh News: Bangladesh had a major political upset in August last year, when the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to leave the country due to heavy protests. After his departure, an interim government was formed under the leadership of Mohammad Yunus. Sheikh Hasina was known for her medieval politics, while the influence of right -wing forces in Yunus’s government has increased.
With this, the interference of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI in Bangladesh is also increasing. The intention of ISI is being said to strengthen the radical Islamic ideology in the country.
Fundamentalism is spreading
According to the report of The Sunday Guardian, fundamentalism is spreading rapidly in Bangladesh during the tenure of Muhammad Yunus’s interim government. Regional security is being threatened by the promotion of radical elements and the increasing interference of ISI. After Sheikh Hasina’s withdrawal from power, such policies have been implemented in Bangladesh, which are strengthening extremist groups. This situation has also increased India’s concerns.
Government is releasing terrorists
After Muhammad Yunus took power, the ban on extremist organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami has been lifted. This organization has been accused of committing violence against minorities. Along with this, Jamaat’s student organization Islamic Chhatra Shibir (ICS) has also become active again, which is accused of involvement in anti -India activities and communal violence. Not only this, Younus has appointed Nasimul Ghani, the founding member of the radical faction Hizb Ut-Tahrir, its home secretary.
Mohammad Yunus’s government has released many such prisoners who are accused of being associated with terrorism. One of these is a prominent name of Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), Jashimuddin Rahmani, who was related to Al Qaeda, which was released in August last year. ABT has been accused of killing secular bloggers. In such a situation, serious questions are being raised on the intention of the Yunus government.
ISI is becoming active in Bangladesh
Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI has been accused of promoting radical ideology in Bangladesh. According to reports, ISI has made Cox Market the main center of weapon smuggling. ISI’s increasing activism in this region is a matter of serious concern for India. It is being said that the weapons received from China are brought here to rebel groups active in the northeast of India, including factions like ULFA and Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA). ISI has also tried to create unrest in India by supporting these groups.
According to the report, Pakistan Army Special Services Group (SSG) ex -servicemen are running training camps for radical elements and Rohingya rebels on the borders of Bangladesh. These camps are active in areas such as Bandarban and Silhat, making it easier for these groups to infiltrate neighboring areas. Analysts at the International Center for Peace Studies (ICPS) say that this situation is not only a threat to India’s security, but is also weakening the social fabric of Bangladesh.
