Concerned Over Pakistan Army, ISI presence in Bangladesh: Army Chief
India Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that he was concerned about the presence of Pakistan Army and ISI officials in Bangladesh areas close to India’s Chicken’s Neck area. Speaking to in an exclusive interview, General Dwivedi said that they must make sure that those anti-India elements must not be able to use that soil to send terrorists to India.
“I had used the word epicentre of terrorism for a particular country (Pakistan). Now those countrymen, if they go to any other place and they happen to be our neighbor, as far as I am concerned, I should be concerned about it. That they should not be able to use that soil to send terrorists to India. That is as far as that is concerned,” General Dwivedi said. “As far as the second setup is concerned that how is the administration, my stance is that when we have elected government, then we can say how should be our relationship,” he told ANI.
When General Dwivedi was asked if Pakistan has understood yet that Kashmir is a part of Indian territory, Dwivedi humourously gave an example of the movie, ‘Guide’, where a madman says that ‘I won’t eat until it rains‘. Dwivedi further said that Pakistan’s agenda is not limited to Kashmir only, and they are only fueling the anti-India stance. “So, as far as they are concerned, the idea of India is their major criticality. It’s not limited to Kashmir only. So to keep Pakistan together, you have to have one common agenda which can keep you together. Is the language same? Are the people same? What is same? Only anti-India stance. So therefore, Kashmir, they will keep hyping up at every point of time,” he said.
Donald Trump hints at USAID interference in India’s elections: ‘They were trying to get somebody else elected’
While addressing the FII PRIORITY Summit in Miami, Trump said,”Why do we need to spend $21 million on voter turnout in India? I guess they were trying to get somebody else elected. We have got to tell the Indian Government… This is a total breakthrough.”
“Why are we giving USD 21 million to India? They have a lot more money. They are one of the highest taxing countries in the world in terms of us; we can hardly get in there because their tariffs are so high. I have a lot of respect for India and their Prime Minister, but giving USD 21 million for voter turnout?” Trump said at Mar-a-Lago.
Sheikh Hasina vows to return to Bangladesh, calls Muhammad Yunus ‘mobster’
Exiled former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has vowed to return to Bangladesh, accusing the country’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus of being a “mobster” who has unleashed lawlessness and terror. In response, the Dhaka administration reaffirmed that securing Hasina’s extradition remains its top priority.
Hasina, who fled to India after being toppled in a student-led uprising on August 5, 2024, made a bold declaration during a Zoom interaction on Monday with the widows of four policemen killed in the July 2023 protests in Bangladesh. Expressing grief over their loss, she promised justice upon her return.
“The killings were part of his meticulous conspiracy to throw me out of power,” Hasina said, vowing, “I will return and avenge the deaths of our policemen.”
