Hasnat Claims Indian Intelligence Met Bangladeshi Officials 23 Times in a Month

-

Hasnat Abdullah, the Chief Organizer of the South Zone of the National Citizen Party (NCP), has claimed that Indian intelligence agencies and the Indian High Commission have held at least 23 meetings this month with various sectors in Bangladesh, including government, non-government, and military officials.

In a verified Facebook post on Thursday, Hasnat stated, “Just in this month alone, Indian intelligence agencies and the High Commission have conducted at least 23 meetings across governmental, private, and military levels in Bangladesh.”

The NCP leader further alleged that delays in legal proceedings are being intentionally orchestrated to create space for the reformation of the Awami League. “Mark my words, this delay under the guise of justice is aimed at paving the way for the restructuring of the Awami League. Eventually, they will claim that banning a once-popular political party is not their responsibility,” he wrote.

Hasnat emphasized, “Anyone whose agenda excludes justice for the genocidal Awami League or does not call for banning the party—such a person is not with us.”

Earlier in the morning, Hasnat made another post criticizing the interim government for allegedly facilitating privileges to the Awami League. He pointed out incidents where criminals were allowed to leave the country safely, accused persons received bail despite arrests, and Shirin Sharmin was allegedly issued a passport under state supervision at her residence.

He also criticized the delay in the formation of the second tribunal, which was initially scheduled for January but has yet to begin even in May. “And yet, they claim to be delivering justice for the crimes of the Awami League?” he questioned.

In a pointed comment to the interim government, Hasnat wrote: “So, Interim Government, what trials and reforms have you actually delivered so far?”

Context:
The Awami League government was overthrown on August 5 last year following a mass student-led uprising. Hasnat Abdullah, a prominent leader of the anti-discrimination student movement, played a key role in the protests. On February 28, a new political party—the National Citizen Party (NCP)—was announced, with Hasnat assuming a top leadership position.
