Pakistan is planning to attack India via the Bangladesh border. This plan by Army Chief Asim Munir has been revealed by a Pakistani official. This strategy could pose a new challenge for India on its eastern border.
Pakistan Plan: A new and worrying conspiracy against India has been uncovered from Pakistan. This time, the plan is to launch an offensive not from the traditional western border, but from the eastern border, i.e., the Bangladesh border. Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir and his strategic team are working on a plan to use Bangladeshi soil against India. This revelation has been made not by an Indian agency or analyst, but by a senior Pakistani Army officer.
Hint of a War Strategy from the Eastern Border
Pakistan Army spokesperson Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry recently stated that Pakistan will initiate any future conflict from the eastern border. This statement is not just a military thought but indicates a larger geopolitical plan. It implies that Pakistan is strategizing to destabilize India through the Bangladesh border.
Changing Political Equations in Bangladesh
In this plan of Pakistan, questions are also being raised about the role of the new Yunus government in Bangladesh. According to reports, Prime Minister Mohammad Yunus's attitude is becoming softer towards Pakistan and stricter towards India. Some reports have also claimed that the Yunus government has reactivated old ties with Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI.
If this is true, it poses a major security challenge for India. Bangladesh has been a traditional ally of India, but if it becomes a platform for Pakistan, India will have to prepare on the eastern border just like the LoC. This could pose a serious threat to the security of India's northeastern states such as Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and the border districts of West Bengal.
Apprehension of Cyber and Intelligence Alliance
According to media reports, there is a plan for not only diplomatic but also intelligence and cyber alliance between Pakistan and Bangladesh. There is a possibility of increased communication between ISI and Bangladeshi agencies, which could create instability in the border areas. Pakistan's aim is to encircle India on two fronts – on one side, the Jammu and Kashmir border, and on the other side, the Bangladesh border.
Asim Munir's Support from Donald Trump
Pakistan is also trying to strengthen this entire plan on the international stage. President Donald Trump's inclination towards Pakistan and recent critical stance towards India are encouraging the Pakistani army. It is believed that with the possibility of the Trump administration coming back to power, Pakistan expects to receive new diplomatic cover and global support.
Asim Munir has increased his diplomatic activity with both China and the United States in recent months. He has also intensified efforts to improve Pakistan's image and encircle India in the United Nations and other international forums.
Dual Challenge for India
This is a new and serious challenge for India's security policy. So far, the center of threats to India from Pakistan has been Jammu and Kashmir and the western border, but if Bangladesh also becomes a hub of Pakistani conspiracies, India will have to strengthen its security arrangements on two fronts.
The sensitivity of the borders of the northeastern states and the political-social complexities are already a challenge for India. If Pakistan-sponsored attempts are made to spread instability here, it will affect not only security but also internal peace and development.
