New Delhi/Dhaka: Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following the recent Pahalgam terror attack, a provocative statement from a retired Bangladeshi military officer has triggered fresh concerns in strategic circles.
Retired Major General ALM Fazlur Rahman, former Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and current Chairperson of the National Independent Commission, posted a controversial message on Facebook suggesting that Bangladesh should consider military action against India if it launches an attack on Pakistan.

“If India attacks Pakistan, Bangladesh must seize the seven northeastern states of India. I believe it is necessary to initiate discussions with China on a joint military operation,” Rahman wrote in Bengali.

His remarks come shortly after similar provocative comments made by individuals close to Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, further intensifying diplomatic unease. Indian intelligence agencies have reportedly observed movements by Pakistan Navy and ISI operatives within Bangladesh’s maritime zones, indicating possible coordination.
The Indian government has not officially responded to the comments, but the developments are being closely monitored by security agencies.
