In the aftermath of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation as Bangladesh’s Prime Minister, hawkish Indian defense analysts are pointing fingers at foreign powers, alleging a conspiracy behind her ouster.
Accusations by Indian Analysts:
- Maj Gen GD Bakhshi (retd):
- In a TV interview, Maj Gen Bakhshi blamed the United States, China, and Pakistan for Hasina’s downfall.
- He claimed that Hasina had spoken about receiving threats from both the US and China.
- He alleged that the US sought control over Bangladeshi islands, while China wanted to dock its submarines in Bangladeshi waters, using Pakistan’s ISI agents who connected with the Jamaat-e-Islami in Bangladesh.
- Arnab Goswami:
- TV anchor Arnab Goswami accused the US deep state of involvement in Hasina’s ouster.
- He also targeted Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging that Gandhi was seeking US intervention to induce a regime change in India similar to what happened in Bangladesh.
Media Reactions:
- BBC Analysis:
- The BBC described the collapse of Hasina’s government as a significant blow to India.
- The report suggested that India’s undue support for Hasina and interference in Bangladeshi affairs contributed to her government’s overthrow.
The accusations reflect a sense of unease among Indian hawks, who see the geopolitical interests of the US, China, and Pakistan as potential factors in the political upheaval in Bangladesh.
