Recent revelations indicate that the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s spy agency, is actively involved in manipulating the upcoming general elections in Bangladesh to support the jihadist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh (JIB) in forming the next government.
Counterterrorism organizations and individuals have long identified Jamaat e Islami as a terrorist organization with global networks, including in Western countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. Notably, Ashrafuzzaman Khan, a war criminal associated with JIB, fled to the US and helped establish and lead the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), an American Jamaat-e-Islami organization.
According to Gatestone Institute, Pakistan is a state sponsor of jihad terror itself, yet is now claiming that it is Bangladesh and India that have the terrorist problem.
Surprisingly, despite being a state sponsor of jihad terror, Pakistan is attempting to shift the narrative, now claiming that Bangladesh and India are the ones with a terrorist problem. Abdullah Khan, Managing Director of Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, previously accused Bangladesh and India of engaging in “state-sponsored terrorism”, claiming that their actions are provoking the Islamic State and endangering Muslim communities.
Further, a Pakistani research group has been falsely portraying radical Islamic militancy groups, including Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), Ansar Al Islam (AAI), Jamaatul Mujahedin Bangladesh (JMB), and the student front of Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh (JIB), as “Muslim groups” in an attempt to mislead global and Western counterterrorism bodies.
Amid these disturbing developments, Representative William R. Keating submitted a resolution in Congress, urging the US government to promote free, fair, transparent, and credible elections in Bangladesh.
The upcoming general election in Bangladesh is crucial, as it is viewed as a showdown between the secularist Awami League and the radical Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) along with its ideological ally, Jamaat e Islami Bangladesh (JIB). ISI has intensified its efforts to ensure victory for its long-standing ally, JIB, and BNP, hoping to see an anti-Indian political force rise to power in Bangladesh.
The desperation of Pakistani ISI is evident in its recent activities. They have been actively engaging with BNP’s fugitive leader, Tarique Rahman, who is also a convicted terrorist, holding meetings in London to promise support in their pursuit of an anti-India government. Furthermore, ISI is leveraging its contacts in the US Capitol, including the US Senate and Congress, to garner support for BNP’s cause.
An incriminating leaked telephonic conversation between a prominent BNP leader and an ISI official based in Dubai further confirms their intentions. The BNP leader was heard requesting ISI’s assistance in managing China’s favor for his party ahead of the election.
Here is the full transcript:

In light of these alarming revelations, international scrutiny on the Bangladeshi election has intensified. Many are calling on the United States, a longstanding friend of Bangladesh, to effectively aid Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in preventing the country from falling into the grips of radical Islamists and safeguarding its democratic values from a potential Sharia nation or Caliphate.
As Bangladesh prepares for the upcoming general election, it is crucial for the international community to closely monitor the situation and ensure that the democratic process remains free, fair, and transparent, free from foreign interference and manipulation.
