'Pakistan's ISI has a free hand in Bangladesh': Sheikh Hasina's son calls it a 'problem for India'
Sajeeb Wazed Joy said the developments in Bangladesh did not “portend well for India and the world at large.”
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, has accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) of having unchecked influence in Bangladesh. Joy made these allegations during a press conference, where Hasina also announced her plans to return to Bangladesh. According to Joy, hundreds of criminals were released from Bangladeshi prisons during the current administration, and these individuals could potentially become a source of terrorists globally.
He warned that the situation in Bangladesh poses a security risk for India and the world at large, and that the next wave of global terrorists could emerge from Bangladesh unless something is done. Joy further alleged that militants who were previously arrested and convicted during Bangladesh's Awami League government are now free.
He also claimed that Bangladesh is now a security challenge for India, akin to Pakistan. Joy called on the Indian media to continue reporting on the developments in Bangladesh, emphasizing that India, being the world's largest democracy, should take the lead in highlighting these issues.
