Bangladesh: Yet another case of a regime-change operation gone wrong

Firstpost  

It is a matter of great concern if forces from the West try to bring instability to India’s neighbourhood, looking for an opportunity to strike within India When mass protests erupted against the Sheikh Hasina government in Bangladesh, they at first seemed to be organic against her 15-year stint as the prime minister. The other big indication came from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina herself, a few weeks after she fled to India, that the organic protests were hijacked by the United States’ deep state, which wanted to have a naval base in Bay of Bengal. As mass secessionist sentiments in Balochistan and Gilgit have developed over recent years and somehow have become appreciative of India’s economic growth story, public sentiment in Bangladesh too will change again. However, it certainly is a matter of great concern if forces from the West try to bring instability to India’s neighbourhood, looking for an opportunity to strike within India to slow down its growth story.
