Sheikh Hasina’s Politics of Treachery: Bangladesh’s Energy Security and National Sovereignty is Falling into the Hands of Mushrik India

Ahead of upcoming National polls in Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina government began an all-out effort to satisfy India in a bid to secure her power, all under the guise of bilateral agreement and cooperation. Several anti-state moves have been made within a short period of time by the ruling party for the sake of Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi Sectoral Technological and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), which is nothing but an India-dominated platform being used to fortify India’s regional interests.

On 10th September 2018, Sheikh Hasina with her Indian counterpart jointly inaugurated three major Indo-Bangladesh joint venture projects including 500 MW additional power supply from India to Bangladesh as part of Indian plan to invest $9 billion in Bangladeshi energy sector (“Indian companies to invest $9 billion in Bangladesh energy projects”, The Economic Times, April 11, 2017). Not only is the traitorous Awami League (AL) government abetting enemy India to become a power hub in Southeast Asia but also it is yielding our strategic energy resources to them, leaving us highly vulnerable to energy security threats by our sworn enemy. After the fourth BIMSTEC summit which was held at Kathmandu, India, Bangladesh literally giving in to the demands of India and signed several Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). On that very same day (10/9/18), the treacherous Hasina government had our military participated in a week-long military exercise of BIMSTEC at Aundh near Pune under the command of Indian army. Such joint drills under the leadership of Mushrik India were fully unimaginable even a few years back. The ultimate objective of such exercises is to paralyze powerful Bangladesh Muslim army for good so that they can serve India as a regional power and materialize the plan of this Mushrik ally of American to contain the revival of political Islam and reduce the influence of China in the region.

Just a few days back, the Hasina Government brought another national disgrace by forcing our border guards to team with the forces of enemy India. This puppet government sent Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) to India to sit with his Indian counterpart for a 6-day co-ordination meeting in New Delhi, India from September 3, 2018. Under the guise of ‘enhancing cooperation and mutual understanding’ as part of ‘confidence building measures’, India is employing every strategy to bring our military to its knees. And with this abhorrent co-ordination meeting, the subservient Hasina government has brought another national disgrace by compelling the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) to abet our enemy in its heinous objective to paralyze our military in due course. India now feels the need of ‘confidence building’ as she didn’t calculate earlier that Bangladeshi people and sincere military officers would uncover India’s central role of orchestrating the killing of our brave military officers of the then BDR (current BGB) in Pilkhana Massacre. Being India’s accomplice, the traitorous Hasina government is aggressively pushing India’s agenda to defuse the anger of our army officers and bring them into the arms of India. Our blood were boiling with rage to see the shameless agenda from BGB requesting India to allow “Higher studies in India for BGB family members”, whereas the ‘killer of Felany’ had kept the unfounded claim as a top agenda: “Prevention against attacks on BSF personnel by the Bangladeshi criminals” (!), audaciously ignoring the number of atrocities committed by the BSF criminals (3 killed, 11 injured and 9 abducted till May 2018 as per ODHIKAR). When the enemy falsely labeled our unarmed civilians as ‘criminals’, this treacherous government kept the vile agenda of organizing combined ‘Milon Mela’ (!) (“unification fair”) with the killers.

Due to the growing importance of Bangladesh of its geostrategic location in the Indian Ocean basin and the Western fear over the imminent rise of political Islam, both USA and India now feel the need for their strong penetration in our political and economic landscape through our treacherous rulers. It is quite obvious that AL government is desperate to please the Mushrik India and the greatest evil on earth, USA, ahead of national elections at the cost of our ‘energy independence’ and sovereignty. These bilateral deals with India reveal the treason of our lackey rulers. When it is just only a matter of political will to control our natural resources by our own financial resources and manpower to produce more electricity at cheap cost, our slavish government has forecasted to buy 7,500MW of electricity from the Mushrik state by 2020 that will leave our energy security at their mercy. Also, the evil plan is in action to make our powerful Muslim army submissive, obedient and friendly with those who killed their brothers in arms! This treacherous client regime of neo-colonial west and their regional Mushrik ally are exerting every effort to turn our mighty force into a cheap means to attain their geopolitical objectives.

In this situation the Muslim Ummah is eagerly awaiting the re-establishment of the Khilafah Rasidah (Rightfully Guided Khilafah) that will uphold our honor, protect our people, and establish justice for all people, insh’Allah.

وَلَنۡ يَّجۡعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَلَى الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ سَبِيۡلًا

“Allah will not allow the disbelievers to have an authority over the believers.”

[An- Nisa: 141]
