The chief of the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), an al-Qaida-affiliated terrorist outfit in Bangladesh, has made highly inflammatory remarks against India in a viral video, threatening the stability of its neighbouring country.
BRIEF IN KANNADA: ವೀಡಿಯೊವೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ, ಅಲ್-ಖೈದಾ ಅಂಗಸಂಸ್ಥೆ, ಅನ್ಸರುಲ್ಲಾ ಬಾಂಗ್ಲಾ ಟೀಮ್ (ಎಬಿಟಿ) ಮುಖ್ಯಸ್ಥ ಇಸ್ಲಾಮಿಸ್ಟ್ ಜಶಿಮುದ್ದೀನ್ ರಹಮಾನಿ ಹಾಫಿ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಬಂಗಾಳದ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿ ಮಮತಾ ಬ್ಯಾನರ್ಜಿ ಅವರನ್ನು “ಮೋದಿ ಆಳ್ವಿಕೆಯಿಂದ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಘೋಷಿಸಿ” ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಯಾದ ಭಯೋತ್ಪಾದಕ ಕೂಡ “ಭಾರತವನ್ನು ವಿಭಜಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು ಮತ್ತು ದೆಹಲಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಇಸ್ಲಾಮಿಸ್ಟ್ ಧ್ವಜಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾರಿಸಲಾಗುವುದು” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿಕೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದು ಆತಂಕಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿದೆ.
Jashimuddin Rahmani, recently released from prison by the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, is seen in the video asking for help from Pakistan and Afghanistan to ‘liberate Kashmir.’
In the video, likely shot in a hospital ward in early September, Rahmani warned India against associating with former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He also urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to “free Bengal from Modi’s rule and declare independence,” according to multiple news outlets.
The Islamic terrorist warned India against any aggressive actions towards Bangladesh, saying, the country is “not like Sikkim or Bhutan. It is a country of 18 crore Muslims.” He threatened to enlist China’s help in cutting off India’s northeastern states by blocking the Siliguri corridor, often referred to as the “chicken’s neck.” Rahmani’s message to Bengal CM comes at a sensitive time when her government is facing public outrage following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.
The ABT chief, who has openly supported al-Qaida and its branch in the Indian subcontinent (AQIS), sought help from Pakistan and Afghanistan to “liberate Kashmir” and advocated for Khalistan. “Tell Kashmir to get ready for freedom.
Pakistan and Afghanistan together will help Kashmir gain independence. We will work for the freedom of Kashmir,” he said. Jashimuddin Rahmani poses a serious threat to India’s security, given ABT’s strong ties to AQIS and its efforts to establish a jihadi network within India through sleeper cells.
