Bangladeshi officials call for unity against India, raising regional tensions.
Retired Bangladeshi Army Colonel Abdul Haq has called for the unification of anti-India forces to capture Northeast India, echoing sentiments from other prominent figures in Bangladesh, including former General Abdullahil Aman Azmi. These statements reflect a growing trend of anti-India rhetoric among political and military leaders in Bangladesh, particularly from factions aligned with Jamaat-e-Islami and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Azmi’s remarks further assert that peace in Bangladesh is contingent upon India’s fragmentation, harkening back to historical grievances from the 1971 Liberation War. Such hostile declarations pose a significant challenge to regional stability and underscore the need for India to remain vigilant and proactive in its defense and diplomatic strategies.
