DHAKA: Following the killing of student leader Osman Hadi in Bangladesh, another young political leader has reportedly come under threat from Indian operatives.
Bengali youth leader Hasnat Abdullah has allegedly received threats from a former Indian army major, warning him, “You are next,” while a former Indian colonel has reportedly threatened to shoot him in the neck. Pakistan has repeatedly exposed India’s state-backed terrorism on the international stage.
In recent incidents, Indian citizens were confirmed to be involved in the Sydney attack, while in 2020, Australia expelled officials linked to Indian intelligence over espionage activities. Similarly, attacks on Sikh leaders in Canada and the US have been linked to Indian intelligence, with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly revealing contacts between Indian diplomats and extremist elements.
Diplomatic relations between Canada and India were suspended for months following the assassination of Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. In the US, a Canadian-based Sikh advocacy leader was targeted in a plot involving an Indian national. India has also supported Tamil militants in Sri Lanka for decades, contributing to the country’s prolonged civil war.
Experts warn that even Indian citizens, particularly minorities, are not immune to state-sponsored violence. According to analysts, the targeting of young leaders in Bangladesh is a clear example of India’s organized state-backed terrorism on a global scale. They urge the international community to take strict notice of these actions.
