Dhaka: Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin has dissolved the Parliament. Former PM of the country Khaleda Zia has also been released. The protesting students had given an ultimatum to dissolve the Parliament by 3 pm on Tuesday.
There was heavy violence on Monday in the 2-month-long protest against Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh. After this, she resigned from the post and reached India. There was a big conspiracy behind the overthrow of the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh. For this, a movement was launched through a toolkit. This has been revealed in an intelligence report. In this report, the conspiracy of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI and China has been exposed.
The report states that through the toolkit, the movement started against quota in government jobs was turned into an anti-government movement. People were so incited through social media that clashes between students, police and pro-government groups intensified. Not only this, the protesters also attacked government buildings and Awami League offices.
Analysis of the report reveals how BNP (Bangladesh Nationalist Party) and Pakistan’s ISI are involved in promoting unrest in Bangladesh. Pakistan’s ISI is reportedly making plans from its hideout in London in connivance with BNP’s acting chief Tariq Rahman. These plans were allegedly being implemented in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh officials have claimed to have evidence of meetings between Tariq Rahman and ISI officials in Saudi Arabia, indicating ISI’s active involvement with the BNP leader. According to the report, Pakistan’s army and ISI have worked together to destabilise Sheikh Hasina’s government and bring BNP to power through violence along with protests. The student wing of the banned Jamaat-e-Islami is promoting unrest in Bangladesh by openly supporting anti-government protests.
Scanning social media activity during the Bangladesh protests found that most of the posts against the Awami League as well as posters defaming Sheikh Hasina were being done by BNP and its affiliated accounts including its media cell and student wing. Many of these accounts appeared to be operated from the US.
To understand the possible connection between the two, we examined the transparency of pages linked to the BNP. When examining the transparency of the Facebook pages of the BNP and its allied wings and some of the party’s politicians, we saw direct foreign interference. While some admins of these pages are from Bangladesh, others are from countries such as the United States and Malaysia, officials said.
