ISI in Bangladesh: The situation in Bangladesh is becoming increasingly alarming as the country grapples with internal strife and political instability. Protesters have once again taken to the streets, targeting Muhammad Yunus’s interim government. Amidst this unrest, reports suggest that ISI in Bangladesh is gaining ground, raising serious concerns. Sources indicate that the interim government is unknowingly falling into Pakistan’s trap, allowing ISI to extend its influence in the region.
A crucial question arises—Is Pakistan attempting to manipulate Bangladesh for its own strategic interests? Will Pakistan repeat its past blunders? Has Pakistan completely disregarded the hard-learned lessons of the Kargil War? These concerns are gaining momentum as the footprints of ISI in Bangladesh become more evident.
Is Bangladesh Walking Into ISI’s Trap?
A recent visit by an ISI delegation to Bangladesh in January has raised significant alarms. Observers believe that Pakistan is seizing the opportunity presented by Bangladesh's political crisis to deploy its intelligence operatives and strengthen its presence. With Sheikh Hasina removed from power, the Muhammad Yunus-led government appears to be shifting its stance in a way that benefits Pakistan, a move that has not gone unnoticed.
If Bangladesh falls into ISI’s trap, it risks severe consequences. The country is already struggling with economic challenges, and ISI’s involvement in Bangladesh could further destabilise the nation. As Pakistan works behind the scenes, many are closely watching Muhammad Yunus’s next steps, which will likely determine Bangladesh’s fate in the coming months.
Pakistan’s Repeated Mistakes - Is Kargil War’s Lesson Forgotten?
Pakistan has a history of making strategic miscalculations, and once again, it appears to be using Bangladesh as a pawn to serve its interests. This move raises the question—has Pakistan forgotten Kargil?
The Kargil War of 1999 serves as a harsh reminder of Pakistan’s failed military tactics. During the conflict, India’s armed forces successfully ousted Pakistani infiltrators and terrorists from Indian territory, dealing a crushing blow to Pakistan’s ambitions. This war was a testament to Pakistan’s repeated misadventures and subsequent defeats.
Furthermore, the history of 1971 cannot be ignored. India played a pivotal role in the liberation of Bangladesh, leading to one of the largest military surrenders in modern history. The Pakistani Army was forced to capitulate, and Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation. If Pakistan once again attempts to manipulate Bangladesh through ISI’s influence, it is bound to face yet another major setback.
