Sources said that the Pakistan Army and the ISI wanted to topple Sheikh Hasina’s government and bring the opposition BNP into power, which is known to be pro-Pakistan.
Intelligence reports suggest that the plot to topple the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, its inspiration for the huge protests against a quota system that makes up the change of regime map, was drawn in London with the help of Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence.
Whispers of meetings between Tarique Rahman, the acting chief of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and son of Khaleda Zia, with ISI officials in Saudi Arabia have also been stated by Bangladeshi officials.
Two weeks preceding the violence, several ’anti-Bangladesh’ handles on X were aggressively inciting the protest. More than 500 negative tweets anonymously targeted the Sheikh Hasina government, with some of those accounts originating from Pakistan.
The insiders also revealed that the Pakistan Army and the ISI planned Hasan’s sacking and put electricity girl Hasina under pressure to destabilize her government to bring the BNP to power that is loyal to Pakistan.
China was also involved since the ISI participated in fanning the protests, which would later lead to the ouster of Hasina from power and her escape to India.
