India on High Alert as Hafiz Saeed’s Top Aide Visits Bangladesh Border, Sparking Security Fears
Tensions have escalated along India’s eastern frontier after Ibtisam Elahi Zaheer — a close associate of UN-designated terrorist Hafiz Saeed — reportedly arrived in Bangladesh and toured areas near the Indian border. His inflammatory speeches and meetings with radical Islamist groups have triggered fears of a renewed cross-border terror plot aimed at destabilising India’s Northeast region.
Security analysts warn that Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) may be reviving its regional networks under the cover of religious outreach and ideological mobilization.
The situation has become more concerning following the ouster of the Hasina government in Dhaka, with the new administration perceived as being closer to Pakistan and China. Experts believe this shift has reopened space for extremist networks that were previously suppressed under Hasina’s rule.
Intelligence reports indicate growing calls for “jihad” and a so-called “Greater Bangladesh” movement emanating from Dhaka and border districts. Indian agencies are closely monitoring these developments, aware that the network’s propaganda directly targets vulnerable border youth for recruitment — posing a grave threat to national security.
