- •Former diplomat Veena Sikri warns New Delhi of security challenges from escalating anti-India rhetoric and political instability in Bangladesh.
- •Sikri states anti-India narratives are "weaponised" by political actors like Jamaat-e-Islami for internal political gain, harming Bangladesh's interests.
- •Inclusive, free, and fair elections are crucial for Bangladesh's stability and for India to maintain constructive bilateral relations.
- •Prolonged instability in Bangladesh could severely impact India's eastern borders and North-East, affecting minority populations.
- •Sikri highlights Jamaat-e-Islami's dominance, Pakistan's influence, and the return of extremist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.
