PAKISTAN
Information reaching here point to the not-so-subtle hand of Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), the student wing of hardline Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh which is known for its anti-India stance, in inflaming the streets, and turning protest over quotas into a determined effort to replace Hasina with a regime that is friendly to Pakistan and China and hospitable for the anti-India terror groups which would work out of Bangladesh before the crack down ordered by the ousted Awami League govt.
The intelligence inputs alluded to meticulous planning undertaken by ICS members several months prior, aimed at instigating widespread violence across the nation. “The ISI-backed Jamaat-e-Islami had received substantial financial backing earlier this year to destabilise the Sheikh Hasina govt. A significant portion of this funding is believed to have originated from Chinese entities operating in Pakistan,” an official disclosed.
The ICS has been under the surveillance of Indian intelligence agencies for an extended period, following the emergence of its active involvement in anti-India activities, including the propagation of a jihadist agenda in Indian territories adjacent to Bangladesh. The ICS also operates in close coordination with the ISI-backed outfit, Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), a Pakistan-based Deobandi terrorist group with an affiliate in Bangladesh
CHINA:
Although Hasina tried to keep China in good humour, she was sensitive also to India’s interests-an even-handendess which was not to China’s pleasing.
The support from the China’s ministry of state and security is also suspected to have extended a helping hand as Beijing has had been wary of Hasina’s ‘balancing act’ in its dealings with India and China. A govt in Dhaka over which Pakistan has a leverage will surely better serve Beijing’s interests better, said an intelligence source.
Credibility: Author is close to the security establishment (maybe mid level intel sources), not final and ultimate though
