What india pushing as part of defense agreement with Bangladesh
Various report surfaced so far entails 3 different terms india is pushing as part of a defense agreement with Bangladesh.

1) Bangladesh purchase defense equipment from india. India is pressing Bangladesh to accept $500 million to make such indian purchase.

2) India is pushing to establish command over Bangladesh defense forces in the name of joint terror operation inside Bangladesh.

3) India is pushing to be trainer to Bangladesh defense forces and eventually dismantle or run Bangladesh Military Academy.

Awami League deceptive shadow play with Bangladesh
Latest report quoted unnamed foreign ministry official from Awami League administration said - Awami league is contemplating signing a MOU for a defense agreement with some sort of commitment to india to sign multi-year defense agreement shortly afterward.

By signing a defense agreement MOU, Awami league immediate goals are to buy more time to soften Bangladesh defense forces resistance and secure indian support and interference for another farcical election and stay in power.

Awami league is looking to implement india imposed defense agreement in multiple stages –

Stage 1: Signing MOU
Stage 2: Soften Bangladesh defense forces resistance to indian imposed defense agreement.
Stage 3: Create “NEW FACTS ON THE GROUND” for narrative that defense agreement with india is a necessity for Bangladesh.

Same tactics Awami league and india deployed to jostle corridor through Bangladesh – first, awami indian joint venture used indian funded media and agents to promote corridor as a billion dollars wind fall for Bangladesh. Second, allowed limited indian transit by blocking Bangladeshi river. Third, Awami league signed an agreement where Bangladeshis has to pay for transporting indian goods and indian transport gets priority in roads and ports over Bangladeshi business.

Overwhelming and unequivocal message:
NO one in Bangladesh wants any defense treaty or indian equipment or training or imposition of indian command over Bangladeshi force.

She was 22 in 1971, not a kid.

And her son Joy was born during the War at Dhaka CMH. Shekh's family was being looked after by PA Eastern Command. Additionally Begum Mujib was getting Re 1,500.00 for sundry expenses. Shekh's mom was mostly admitted in PG Hospital for treatment under Dr Nurul Islam.

Propaganda machine is active in BD to malign Khaleda's character relating her with Pakistani officers and her stay in Cantonment during wartime. But no one in BD talks about Hasina's stay under Pakistanis and her child birth under them

Her family was involved in fighting British, fighting Hindu domination/creation of Pakistan, fighting Pakistan for people's rights. Fighting for secession from Pakistan, her family's role was minuscule.

A PA security detail had been posted in the house. The soldiers would salute Begum Mujib who often used them for domestic errands. Whenever a vehicle was required, Eastern Command would provide this and arrange security detail to accompany. Btw, if they were under arrest, then how come Sheikh Kamal made his way to India to get trained at Murti to be appointed Osmani's ADC?
