Jamaat-e-Islami leader Md Nurul Huda has expressed his backing for Mamata Banerjee’s decision not to resign, criticizing the BJP. He has urged Banerjee to reject the Assembly election results and declare West Bengal an independent nation. Intelligence agencies have flagged this statement as part of a strategic move with larger implications.
During the recent Bangladesh elections, Jamaat secured a significant number of seats along the West Bengal border, prompting concerns of potential provocations. The ISI-backed Jamaat has a history of attempting to stoke tensions in West Bengal, with a focus on inciting unrest akin to movements in other regions.
Officials reveal that the ISI has been coordinating with hardliners within the Jamaat to disrupt peace in West Bengal. The plan involves discrediting the election process, alleging theft and undermining democracy. The ultimate goal is to spark a mass movement that would keep the state in turmoil, aligning with the ISI’s broader agenda.
Efforts to sow discord in West Bengal have also targeted India-Bangladesh relations, particularly following recent positive developments. The ISI aims to disrupt this progress by fueling instability through statements like those made by Huda. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any violence or attempts to destabilize the state.
