Bangladesh, Sept. 16 -- Pro-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), with the help of its cohorts, the notorious Jamaat-e-Islami, Hefazat-e-Islam and militancy groups such as Jamaatul Mujahedin Bangladesh, Ansar Al Islam, Hizbut Tahrir and Hizbul Mujahedin (in India) wants to push forward the agenda of destabilizing Bangladesh. This was suggested by BNP’s fugitive leader Tarique Rahman, who has expressed his willingness of playing the jihadist and anti-India cards as the “most convenient” tools of putting Awami League government under pressure. During the recent closed-door web-meetings with his party comrades, Tarique reportedly has asked them to “further deepen” relations with “Islamic” and “anti-India” forces in Bangladesh.
