Original Claim

Sajeeb Wazed claims Pakistan Inter-Services’s (ISI) involvement in ousting of Hasina

4 months ago

Context by Compass

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has claimed that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is involved in the unrest and coordinated attacks in Bangladesh, which led to his mother's ousting. He cited circumstantial evidence and the sophisticated nature of the attacks, including the use of weapons that could only be provided by terror outfits and foreign powers, as indicators of ISI's involvement. Joy's statements were made in interviews with various news outlets, including NDTV, Business Today, and Hindustan Times. While these claims are serious, it is important to note that they are based on circumstantial evidence and suspicions rather than concrete proof. The involvement of ISI in foreign political unrest is a recurring allegation in South Asian geopolitics, but without direct evidence, these claims remain speculative. Therefore, while Joy's concerns may be valid, they should be interpreted with caution and further investigation is necessary to substantiate these allegations.
