Introduction:
Indian RAW and Bangladeshi DGFI-NSI Jointly operate in Bangladesh that indicates a new reality where the doubts are raising heads from the smokes.
Questions:
1. Is Bangladesh government really gone under Indian governments command and control?
2. Is Bangladesh commanded by Indian Armed forces?
3. Is RAW determining the fate of Bangladesh and becoming a self-made colonial power?
4. Did the present Government allow RAW to operate inside Bangladesh secretly?
5. Is Indian and Awami league Government executing the Indira-Tajuddin treaty of 1971?
6. Is Awami league government really going to war against China and Pakistan and becoming the tail of Indian Armed forces?
7. Is Indian Army taking revenge against the Bangladeshi Army for 1965 war where the East Bengal Regiment of the Pakistani Army fought against Indians? Are Indians playing bluffing plans to crush Bangladesh Armed forces again and again?
8. Are India and other anti-Muslim powers jointly adapting the tactful war strategy against Bangladesh, the connecting route of South and East Asia to take control over it, as the war in Afghanistan experienced the same in the route way to Central and South Asia?
Answers and Analysis:
Bangladesh is thrown under a massive battle; internal and externally where as it needs internal unity, peace and strength for survival and advancement for its citizens. Let us summarize the political situation of Bangladesh.
1) Some weak and known political figures are facing with embarrassing situation and always fighting with each other. But the main shows are being controlled by a most corrupt, greedy, liar, cruel syndicate of Political-Administrative-Business-Army- Currency launderers-Smugglers-Police- Educationists-Youths-Intelligence and Judicial groups.
2) They are assigned to turn Bangladesh vulnerable as soon as possible, before the war appears in borders between India vs. China-Pakistan for a muscle show before it can be counted as a regional super power. American and European war industries need to egg these powers to war in order to keep Asia weak in economy.
3) Bangladesh Armed forces, Intelligence directorates, police and RAB will be re-set up gradually and bringing under Indian command and control.
4) The ownerships of the export oriented Industries are gradually being transferred to Indians and the continued strikes and the setting of fires in the rest of the industries are acts of sabotage by RAW operatives.
5) All exports channels are to be jammed (the recent problems at Chittagong port is an example).
6) The Hospitals and Universities are being set up to bring poisonous drug addiction in a commando form of distribution network.
7) Avoiding democratic norms and practice and terrorizing the non pro-Indian society, the administration and law and order officials.
8) Leaders of BNP and Jamaat parties are being pushed to numbness.
9) The general public are becoming frustrated by Indian dominance and are already venting reactions.
Let us touch some points of the regional muscle power competitions, such as;
1) Indian Military Chief General V K Singh on 15th October, 2010 declaring the possibility of a conventional war against China and Pakistan and also the possibility of using Nuclear weapons.
2) Indian Ambassador in Washington DC, Meera Shankar expressed concerns about the Chinese heavy military enforcement in Indian Eastern and Western borders and the building of powerful Rail stations and Rail communications closest to India-Pak and India-China borders.
3) Pakistan has exposed their strong alignment with China in all respects; Military, financial, communication and gas pipe line. The newly built Pakistani Gwadar sea port is being transferred to the Chinese authorities which makes easier for its naval moves in the Indian Ocean and the multi-diversified routes to central Asia also.
4) CNN circulated news of Bin Ladens stay in Pakistan. Ex-President of Afghanistan Borhanuddin Rabbani becomes the President of the Afghan Peace Council for a Taleban-Afghan government formal negotiations in order to quiet down the war and establish peace in Afghanistan.
5) Pakistan stands with major roles and Iran also supports the NATO in peace making.
6) Defense Secretary Robert Gates has announced his support to the peace process in Afghanistan from the NATO Headquarters in Brussels (Alzazeera, Reuters).
7) India has been demolishing the natural design of power routes of Bangladesh (Muslim majority country and enemy) for turning it permanently disabled.
Afghanistan is located in a strategically connecting route to Central and South Asia and close to Russia and Iran. Bangladesh is the strategically connecting route to South and East Asia and close to China and India. RAW is frustrated in Afghanistan and is now stationing in Bangladesh as a regional center.
India-Pakistan recent debate on war issue: China irritating and worrisome to India was the news headline of Tibetan Review.net on October 17th, 2010. The Indian Army Chief, General V K Singh, on October 15th, called the terror infrastructure across his countrys western border and Chinas rising military prowess as irritating and worrisome, reported the Times of India online on October 15.
Addressing a seminar on Indian Army: Emerging Roles and Tasks in New Delhi, Singh has said, regarding China, we have a rising China, both economically and militarily. Although we have CBMs in place, although we have a very stable border, yet we have border disputes. He has said, a conventional war with China or Pakistan was highly uncertain but explained that skirmishes can occur. Pak, China irritants for India: Army Chief was another headline of the Deccan Chronicle. The entire news is detailed for the viewers.
New Delhi, Oct. 15: In a candid declaration on Friday, the Army chief, Gen. V.K. Singh, described Pakistan and China as two irritants for Indian national security.
On China, the Army chief cautioned that India has a border disputes with a rising China and said Chinese intentions need to be examined.
On Pakistan, he said there was certain amount of support for terror groups in that country and that India had something to worry about as long as the time terror camps in that country were intact.
The Army chief also said that while conventional war was not certain, skirmishes were possible and that India should have substantial conventional war-fighting capabilities along with the ability to fight in a nuclear scenario. He said, We have a rising China with economic and military capabilities. Although we have Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) in place and a stable border, we have a border dispute (with China). The intentions (of China) need to be looked at.
The Indian Army already has a doctrine in place to fight a two-fronts war in case of the eventuality of any joint aggression by Indias neighbors. But interestingly, the IAF chief, Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik, warned later in the day that a country (adversary)-specific policy could lead India into an arms race and that therefore, the armed forces need to have a capability-specific policy rather than country-specific policy .
The two statements are being interpreted in some quarters as a possible difference in perception on the issue by the two service chiefs. Pakistanis reaction was published in the Indian Express on October 16th, 2010. Pakistan on Saturday reacted angrily to the Indian Army chiefs remarks describing the country as a major irritant for Indias security and about the possibility of a war in a nuclear scenario, saying they were jingoistic and unwise.
Rejecting the allegations made by Indian Army chief Gen V K Singh, Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit said in a statement: The government of Pakistan takes a serious exception to the reported statement of the Indian Army chief about his threat perception from Pakistan, war under a nuclear scenario and uncalled for and gratuitous comments on the internal affairs of Pakistan.
The repetitive mentions by Indian Armys high command about war under the nuclear scenario is not only irresponsible but also jingoistic and unwise, Basit said. Such statements and grandstanding by India are evidently unhelpful to the cause of promoting peace, security and stability in South Asia, he added.
The statement and counter statement gradually fueling the angers of two enemy countries -India and Pakistan and the Bangladeshis have been witnessing the symbol of such preparation from couple of years since the affairs of Indian Horses and a full General in Bangladesh which appeared more clearly with the Pheelkhana attack in Dhaka in February 25-26, 2010 under the democratic champion regime of Sheikh Hasina.
In which direction Bangladesh Government moves?
Hasina Government and India have been exercising all efforts in executing the points of treaty with Indo-BD Govt. in 1971 in different style. Though that Colonial Roadmap was not followed during the regimes of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Ziaur Rahman when they were leading Bangladesh. However, both were assassinated under covert sabotage of the foreign powers.
As Hasina and Khaleda are Indian loyalist politicians and the former one is a 100% useful when the latter is found to be worthless, India has chosen the right ally for them in the right time and extends 12 hands to create vulnerabilities in Bangladesh categorically as per their routine. RAW has already set up their operatives in all spheres of the society and the state administration.
Bangladesh is the icon to the bordering neighbours On the other hands, It is widely known to the leaders of the world that Bangladesh has become the icon to the people of her neighbouring Indian provinces who have been living in the poorest region and vulnerable states of India and Nepal, Bhutan and Arakan state of Burma. The Private sectors are booming fastest and the neighbours are rushing in to get jobs and higher social lives in Bangladesh.
Indian policy makers have been witnessing the rapid growing economy in Bangladesh with anger as their people of the Northern states are gradually depending on Bangladesh. All most 50% of the Indian region is influenced by the socialists and communists. This vast area been discriminated by the Indian mainstream politics since the National Congress government took over the governance of India in 1947.
That area holds common historical and cultural commonness with present day Bangladesh and there are differences with the Delhi line of administration. In due course this vast region, which has been heading up and engaged in guerrilla warfare for Independence, is becoming the important consumers of most Bangladeshi products where as the Indian government has been trying to keep Bangladesh as a hub of internal smuggling zone and a buffer state.
War-torn Bangladesh is the demand of the RAW. RAW represents the military, political and economic interests of the Indian Aryan capitalists. So, they are now engaged in a radical operation to distabilise Bangladesh through friend and enemy Channakyo tactics.
It is not fighting terrorism but rather engaging Bangladesh in war:
Mr. R K Meghan alias Sanayima, the Chairman of United National Liberation Front (UNLF) Meitei rebel group was been arrested from Lalmatia in Mohammadpur, Dhaka city on September 29th, 2010. He was taken in a swoop by a joint operation of the Bangladesh and Indian Intelligences. The news was published in Indian Express.com website.
This UNLF was established in November 24th ,1964 and has been fighting for liberating Manipur and building a socialist society . It is the oldest Meitei group and might have the link with National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), KUKI Nnational Army, United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) and other guerrilla groups.
Raj Kumar Meghen is the current Chairman of the UNLF. Bangladesh Government has never dealth in any business with them but this rebel leader might have taken shelter with a disguised name in Bangladesh as thousands of Indians enter and stay here without valid passport for the safeyt and sound life of their families. But there are lot of doubts to use Meghen to propagate against Bangladesh which RAW used to do for targeting the country in keeping pressure. Though it will be useless effort.
My views:
My personal opinion is that a guerrilla leader who cannot support himself from saving from enemies, he is not capable to support his poor and backward nation for their liberation. He should accept the death in smile. I am guerrilla fighter and we liberated Bangladesh. RAW supported us as it was in Indian interests to break and cut off Pakistan, a Muslim enemy country.
Now, Mr. K Meghan is dishonoured and might be killed because the Indian government never honours the humanity and spirit of liberation.
On what legal basis are these joint operations being carried out in Bangladesh?
There must be some legal agreement allowing RAW to operate in tandem with the DGFI or NSI on Bangladesh soil.
When was this agreement signed and by whom?
More importantly is there a reciprocal agreement allowing DGFI and NSI to operate alongside RAW in India? If not then why have we allowed this liberty to Indian foreign intelligence for them to operate in Bangladesh?
MBI MUNSHI a young Barrister and a researcher from Dhaka wanted to know the answers of these questions and invited some one to share their thoughts on it.
I feel honoured in sharing with my friend. Once I was a special guest in the National Press Club, Dhaka during my visit to Bangladesh. Possibly from the present Government side everybody will keep shut their mouths as this is the culture of the slaves vis a vis their lords, and on the other hands the cabinet has no liberty to comment on this issue. The top gambling issues are limited to the top circle affairs. So blaming of the DGFI and NSI for such covert action is not acceptable in any way as they are carrying out the orders of the supreme authorities.
Remember Please, untold small and important clue for the Analysts of the Indo-BD relations. General Ataul Gani Osmani, the Chief of Mukti Bahini and the Chief of Bangladesh Armed forces was allowed to enter in Dhaka but not to enter Dhaka Cantonment until and unless the Indian Army vacated Bangladesh. The Chief of Army Staff had to open up the Army Headquarter in a small room in an old building on Minto Road, Dhaka. The original handwritten lists of the Indian trained Mukti Bahini was taken away forcefully from that office by Sheikh Kamal and were burnt as RAW decided of creating the situation to let Bangladeshis know it was the Indian war against Pakistan and India won the battle. All the office staffs witnessed the anarchic demonstration and the matter was reported to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Major Mohammed Abdul Jalil, the brave sector commander of the 9th Sector during the liberation war of Bangladesh, was arrested by Indian Army with the consent of BD Government when Major Jalil opposed them in passing our million dollars valued weapons and ammunitions to India from Bangladesh. The Indian Army carried everything even the window cover, pillow cover, bad sheet, chair, table, electric wire, light bulbs, kitchen staffs, bathroom fittings etc, what ever they found nearby and did not allow any Bangladeshi Army officer to enter in the cantonment zone.
Bangladesh Government did keep silent and did not stand with Major Jalil in saving the national properties. Every one of the top layer of the politics was engaged in saving their own skin as if their only job was to prove their utmost loyalty to the Indian Army.
These all are the consequences of a covert treaty between India and Bangladesh government signed by Indian and the Bangladesh government in exile in October 1971. This treaty was initiated by Indian foreign Intelligence- RAW. Honourable Premier Tajuddin Ahmed was active to collect the signatures from all the ministers of the exile BD Government. The honourable acting President Syed Nazrul Islam became sick and nervous after going through the documents of the treaty which he signed earlier at the Prime Ministers request and without reading it. The fact was disclosed by the then Chief of Bangladesh Mission in Delhi Mr. Humayun Rashid Chaudhury (later Foreign Minister during General Ershads rule) in his interview (Masudul Haq; RAW and CIA in the liberation war of Bangladesh).
We know it has happened because of the lack of statesmanship and the lack of military thinking at the level of the then politicians who had no experience even to run a provincial government of East Pakistan. Mr. Tajuddin Ahmed was a pro-socialist believer and Pro Indo-Soviet liner. He did not consult with the Mukti Bahini sector commanders.
USA Ambassador Boster saved Mujib and Bangladesh:
It was fact that Sheikh Mujib managed Finance Minister Mr. Tajuddin to resign from the Government position in the same day, the document was taken to Prime Minister in his breakfast table by Khondkar Mostaque Ahmed.
The then HE American Ambassador Davis Eugene Boster in Dhaka promised and extended his full support in having the clear consent of the President of United States of America in saving the life of Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on that day when he was invited and requested for the American support in case of any Indian attack on him (Shekh Mujib) and Bangladesh.
White House did the accurate act when it was needed. (This fact was collected and reconfirmed by responsible Intelligence Sources).
The Indo-BD treaty was signed in October 1971 in Delhi. The main 7 points of the treaty are as follows;-
1) After the establishment of Bangladesh, the administrative officers who actively participated in the war of liberation would remain in their posts. The rest would be terminated and vacant posts would be filled up by the Indian administrative officers.
2) After the liberation of Bangladesh the required number of soldiers would remain in Bangladesh (No time limit was laid down).
3) Bangladesh would not form and maintain any formal regular Armed Forces.
4) To maintain internal security and law and order a militia would be formed comprising of the freedom fighters.
5) The Chief of Staff of the Indian Armed Forces would lead the probable war with Pakistan. The Mukti Bahini (Freedom Fighters) would work under the command of Indian Armed forces.
6) Trade Transactions between the two countries would be free and open. The volume of trade would be calculated once in a year and the price would be paid in pound sterlings.
7)The Foreign Ministry of Bangladesh would maintain a close liaison with the External Affairs Ministry of India and the latter would assist the former as per as possible.
This information of the treaty also was mentioned in the book of Dr. Kali Das Baddyo who was dedicated in keeping liaisons for Bangladesh liberation, having the trusted connections with Awami League leaders and RAW and became an Indian citizen after his assigned mission was successful. His next mission has the name of Bangobhumi: separating Hindu inhabited regions of Bangladesh.
The leaders are lying everyday and shamelessly appearing to the public with their terrorizing attitude against their competitors. These snake-charmers never care about those snakes that are already staying around and inside both the political power circles and waiting for the appropriate time to bite and kill.
Projects and failures:
a) Bangladesh is already isolated from the Muslim world, especially Saudi Arabia and Malaysia, with collapsing of remittances from these two major manpower markets. Money launderers are supported by the government. Crime world is awarded an upper hand. Smuggling routes are kept unguarded. Major Garment factories are being transferred to Indian owners. Manpower exporting channels are being mishandled. Indian Hindu and non-Muslims are found being exported to Muslim countries with fake Muslim names for sabotage against Bangladesh. Internally terrorizing the Muslim citizens and encouraging non-Muslims and Indians (with fake identity) in important Govt. positions of the country and allowing Indian RAW operations in freehand across the country to take control.
b) The State Bank of India is going to replace Bangladesh Bank to collect the remittances from abroad following the case of Bhutan. The Bhutanese are collecting local currencies from local banks against those remittances. The Bhutanese have to remit in the State Bank of India. Finance Minister M A Muhit already exposed the Sonali Exchange abroad as a loosing concern in a reception meeting organized by Dhaka University Alumni Association, USA in Jackson Heights, and NewYork on October 11,2010 which is a motivated campaign on the basis of the govt. policy. Sonali Exchange might close if the RAW guidance functions accurately.
Conclusion:
RAW is already stationed Dhaka. It must be closed soon. But that will need the changed situation which will be enough to compel them to return back. May be their insecurities or other alternative. CIA might play a negotiating role in it. The Intelligence agencies of Bangladesh should be utilized to collect the information to secure the countrys interests; the industries, trades, educational systems, health and communications and sea lanes and to protect the country from smuggling of poisonous drugs, arms etc and saving from the regular attacks from the Indian and Myanmar sides in the border areas.
Intelligence agency is needed to save exports and manpower markets and to secure the routes of remittances and other interests in abroad. We do not permit anybody to rent our Intelligence directorates to India for their internal vulnerabilities. The patriot intellectuals, bureaucrats and diplomats are welcome to turn about and take lead to change the political decisions and bring back the steering of the country towards the safest journey.
