Ok India is back again.
India is back to destroy this country, the economy and the progress.
Who says that?
Everybody.
The government says that via implanted news at local press. Read this , this , and this identical news items.
The following day our boss, the army chief, came up with his confirmation and conclusion ( concluded even before the justice`led investigatory committee started working) that the evil forces planned this and the design has been foiled.
Just scan through all the comments made in different blogs by all the militray apologetics you will see a general tendency of relating DUTA, India amd Awami League and even will selectively pick Ekushey TV behind the conspiracy.
And exactly on the other hand, the other side, anti CTG side, is using India freestyle also to make their case. The case that side is making is by connecting CTG with Dr Kamal Hossain, Daily Star, Prothom-Alo, Gen Moeen, geeti Ara Shafiya etc.
And a third side, seletively picking SaQa owned news channel ( and forgetting similar govt warning on Ekushey also), try to put the blame all on the evil of BNP. Like this one from a friend of mine, “Do you find it that hard to believe that Falu/Saqa/et al would pour lakhs into the streets to try to bring down the government? I would do the same.”
And while we use India at our own free will, I see a repetition of history. Do the combination of words, Dhaka university teachers, Indian agent, conspiracy, national integrity, India’s blue print, midnight arrest of teachers remind you of 1971?
Its a deja vu, my friend.

At the risk of further baffling old friends from your blog, let me add this: the Indian threat is real and it is misunderstood by most. Gone are the days when you could overthrow the Bangladeshi government by bribing a handful of people or target “key” sectors because too many sectors are “key”.
The Indian threat comes from isolating us diplomatically and out-maneuvering us on the negotiating table. All this India-targetted chest thumping that we’re seeing is exactly what you call it: the same thing we’ve seen in the past. I don’t recall it having ever resulted in any meaningful policy to contain Indian influence over Bangladesh.

If everyone is using the India card, then doesn’t it neutralise its impact? And maybe that’s a good thing. Once India bogey gets out of demagoguery and into rational policy debates, we’ll be better off as a nation.

It may be bit early to judge and understand extent of indian involvement in current violence but it is no secret that india has been meddling in Bangladeshi politics every single day. Use of indian involvement by this interim entity may have different reasoning other than facts. But fact of indian involvement (in general) is very real and beyond our realization.
Just to refresh how real it is; few weeks back indian deputy minister Joyram Ramesh lectured Bangladesh about indian expectation on secularism. When a govt like this interim entity does not have people mandate they rely on external forces. Hence they are subject to external pressure tactics and black mailing. And india is a prime player of that black mailing game. I will leave the specifics to your intelligent readings.
But in case you wondering where, read the book “RAW AND BANGLADESH” by Zainal Abedin. Most extensive documentary written to date about indian conspiracy and interference in Bangladesh. This Book was published in 1995.

More interesting to find out that RAW is the ‘Genesis of Secret Agencies in Ancient Bharat’—
