In a concern for India, Pakistan Army returns to Bangladesh first time since 1971
FirstpostThe Pakistan Army will return to Bangladesh in February 2025, in a first since it was forced to vacate what was East Pakistan until 1971. This is for the first time since the 1971 Liberation War, which gave birth to the independent Bangladesh, that Dhaka has reached an agreement with the Pakistan Army to train Bangladeshi soldiers. The ET report quoted sources as saying that officers of Maj Gen rank officers in Pakistan may train Bangladesh Army officers. All terror groups operating against India have had their nerve centres and headquarters in Pakistan, with Indian security agencies saying that the Pakistan Army’s Inter-Services Intelligence has been actively involved with them. Presence of the Pakistan Army in Bangladesh may pose a security challenge to Northeast India, where Pakistan’s major ally China has been trying to build a strategic military pressure on the land-locked Indian states.
