Sajeeb Wazed Alleges ISI Role and Militant Releases in Bangladesh
Sajeeb Wazed Alleges ISI Role and Militant Releases in Bangladesh
The Story in Brief
Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina, alleged at a press conference in India that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence has influence in Bangladesh. He claimed the current administration released hundreds of militants arrested and convicted under the Awami League. Joy also alleged that Hizb ut-Tahrir marches openly and Al-Qaeda operatives address public rallies. He warned that Bangladesh could become a source of global terrorism, threatening India and other countries.
Hasina said she plans to return to Bangladesh in December, nearly two years after leaving in August 2024 after a student-led uprising and her resignation. She said she could face imprisonment or death. Joy said India was providing her full security. The allegations and statements were not independently verified, and no official responses or supporting data were cited.
The Indian Opinion
The allegations concern serious security issues, but the available account provides no independent evidence or responses from Bangladeshi or Pakistani authorities. Claims about militant releases and possible terrorism risks should not be dismissed, but dramatic warnings can also heighten tensions without corroboration. Hasina’s planned return remains uncertain, and readers should await verified information from multiple reliable sources.
