Bangladesh's Wazed warns against Pakistan-backed proxies on Victory Day.

On December 16, 2025—Bangladesh’s Victory Day marking the 1971 surrender of Pakistani forces to Indian troops after a brutal genocide—Sajeeb Wazed, son of exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and ex-ICT advisor, warned via X that Pakistan-backed proxies have surged under Muhammad Yunus’s interim regime. He accused the government of unleashing mass murders, granting impunity for looting and rape, criminalizing “Joy Bangla” chants and critiques of 1971 atrocities, and defaming independence architect Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as a traitor while tampering with the national anthem. Wazed invoked 1971’s heroic legacy, asserting such subversion will fail amid Bangladeshi unity. From India’s strategic lens, this signals deepening Pakistan-ISI influence, radical releases threatening border security, minority attacks, and regional instability, underscoring Delhi’s imperative to bolster counter-terror vigilance.
