‘For God’s Sake, Stop Searching For The ISI Behind Every Tree’ |

- Former foreign secretary of Bangladesh Shamsher M. Chowdhury says he is shocked and appalled by the kind of disinformation being put out by the Indian media over the events in Bangladesh.
Even media houses known for their fairness and balanced views have become ‘totally radicalised”, and “they don’t want to see anything good about Bangladesh,” he said.
People seem to forget that Bangladesh was born through a violent war for independence in 1971, he said. “India witnessed this from outside as a neighbour, and then got directly involved and fought shoulder to shoulder and sacrificed lives for Bangladesh.”
The war against the West Pakistan establishment began with the language movement, which began in the early 1950s, and “we have shed blood for our language,” said Chowdhury, who served in the Pakistani army before joining the war for independence.
“We shed blood in 1952, 1969 and much more blood in 1971, and we shed blood even this time,” he said. “But the saddest thing about this time was that the bloodshed was initiated “by our own government, our own police, our own people,” he said, citing horrific examples of extreme state brutality against the agitating students and protestors.
“Eventually, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to run for her life, abandoning her entire political structure,” he said.
“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction,” and so when that kind of extreme brutality is unleashed on unarmed people who are protesting for something justifiable, you go to the other extreme reaction, he said.
The Jamaat, which has cadres and street power, did join the student movement, he said. But “are they the voice of Bangladesh? I am confident they are not…They are a part of Bangladesh’s political landscape, but they are not going to be taking the decisions,” he said, citing “visible signs of a split between the Jamaat and the BNP.”
“So, for Indian commentators to say that the whole thing is Pakistan’s ISI, American, etc,…don’t give the ISI so much credit, they can’t even get things right in their own country. For God’s sake, stop searching for the ISI behind every tree. You will not find them here”
“Yes right now, things have changed and Pakistanis have reason to be happy, but that is a very short-lived and limited thing. People like me are still alive, freedom fighters are still alive in Bangladesh,” he said.
As for the release of hardline Islamic fundamentalists with links to terror outfits like the ISIS and the Al Qaeda by the caretaker government, he said it was a cause for concern, and he was trying to understand the reasons for their release.
Condemning the attacks on Hindus and their crematoriums and places of worship, he said Prof Mohammad Yunus, who now heads the caretaker government, had made it very clear that such acts would not be tolerated.
Prof Yunus, “is inherently a non-communal person,” he said, noting that his Grameen Bank program was targeted at rural women, and “a huge percentage of them are non-Muslims.”
“The very first call Prof Yunus made to a foreign leader after being sworn in as the chief adviser to the interim government was to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi,” said Chowdhury.
“And Mr Modi was the first foreign leader to send his goodwill to prof Yunus. He did mention the protection of minorities, which is from his political standpoint natural to expect. He also invited Prof Yunus to a virtual meeting the next day with other leaders from South Asia and beyond, which gave Yunus some exposure.
And then the Indian high commissioner here met the finance minister last week to discuss lines of credit. These are positive initiatives that came from the Indian establishment, he said.
Admitting that there has been an anti-India sentiment in Bangladesh even before the recent developments, he said there still are “fissures here and there, which we need to work on.”
As for Bangladesh, “Look at these allegations of corruption (by the Hasina regime) that are coming out. even in the military, which once enjoyed wide respect among the people, in general,” he said.
“It has taken us 15 years to reach this level of rot,” so you can’t fix things overnight. Six commissions have been set up to consider massive reforms across the board, including government institutions and systems, and “it will take time,” he argued.
Arguing that secularism is an ideal, which can be misinterpreted as being against religion, he said a more correct phrase would be to say “we are non-communalist society, which we have always been. So let us look for a non-communal, truly democratic Bangladesh.”
So what happens next? When will elections be held? Will the students who spearheaded the protest movement find a place in the new elected government? Will the political reforms involve a new system of governance in the country? Will the domestic resentment against India continue to fester?
If this gentleman represents the secular BDesh, good luck!
People of Bangladesh will come to know what game happened to them only after few years .
Played by the Jamat and ISI. Which govt in their right frame of mind releases terrorists from jail when their is a regime change?
You tell us what happand in 16 years, role by S. hasina regims?
@@bluebird1120They will never tell this because their government literally colonized Bangladesh through it’s puppet Hasina and now our people finished the game of Hasina and Indian Hindutva.
@@bluebird1120in 16 years you left behind the countries like Pakistan in economic development..your country was developing rapidly with more than 7 percent GDP .... even Sheikh Hasina was not so friendly towards India if you will analyse her tenure you will find Bangladesh inclined towards china over the time.... only thing which was good that cross border anti-India activities were under control and which helped india in countering the rebellion group of Indian side because they were no more able to take shelter across the border in Bangladesh.
@@questionscuriosity9169in which area do you think India had colonised.... in every area be it economic or be it infrastructure industry everywhere Bangladesh were more engaged with china not India infact Bangladesh were more inclined and more influenced towards the china that is what USA didn't liked and it was concerning for India too but still we didn't interfered like USA because we believe in respecting every country's sovereignty....we Indian were more in Seikh Hasina's government only because of our past bitter experience with the other party's government in Bangladesh... In S.H's duration anti-India activities had ended across the border
What we need to Understand is that the fundamental of the Bangladesh people didn't change. You may disagree the pattern of political situation in Muslim majority countries remains same. Even as a small country this country didn't learn anything from its past , importantly the Bangladesh is a Islamic Country which is painted as secular . India needs to beware of this population.
Gen. Ershad, not BNP, was in power during the Babri masjid incidents. They resorted to vandalizing Hindu places of worship, and within a few days, Ershad was toppled.
You can separate a wild animal from a forest but you cannot take out the forest in it. Bangladeshis may talk like a secular in any Indian show and give anti India statement at any given point of time without thinking twice about its consequence.
Why we dont get in touch with hindu Bangladeshis and hear their voice? Just take one zoom meeting
You can follow Deep Haldar. He often appears in The Print.
There is also high Anti Bangladesh Sentiment in India also... That is also reflected in social media
I think that's reaction of Indian people towards the anti India action of Bangladesh people.... they don't even accept the fact that India helped them during 1971 they simply hate India because India is Hindu majority country and they love Pakistan despite of cruel history
Is that good or bad? Bangladeshi have been always anti- India and Indians have been most indifferent.
Stop supporting Bangladesh, stop electricity supply, stop trade. BCCI should immediately stop the Cricket tour. All eyes on Bangladesh. Stop Hindu Genocide .. Har Har Mahadeo🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You probably just ignored the whole conversation
Fuk india
Hard time make strong Man 🇧🇩
We don't need your support, cow-dung Pajeet. We also want you to stop all trades with us. We have China as a friendly country, why do we need cow dung India??
Shut up your nonstop nonsense
Madrasa chap Islamist should not be given any say in politics.
Why no dialogue with hindu bangladeshis???? Their plight?
do mandir chapri rss only have rights to do politics
@@ID-NameMDKamrulHasan joke..rss don't even go to a mandir
@ID-NameMDKamrulHasan for your kind information, you don't need India, and India doesn't need you too. You better off with your Islamic brother Pakistan. End of discussion and story.
@@induchopra3014They build temples.😂😂
This is how US does regime change!
How can he say it is non-communal, when temples are burnt, idols desecrated, and rampant forced conversions are happening, all thanks to the jamaat. He should rethink his statement, if he is honest.
The only thing rampant going on in Bangladesh is the attempt to destabilize the nation by the awami goons whose leader is staying in India and commanding the criminals in Bangladesh from there
No matter how educated they are they will never speak the truth.
Thanks to Mr. Shamser M. Chowdhury for explaining the issue so well.
This interview is a waste when you bring a guy who was in the Pakistani army at one time. He can never be objective. What a disappointment.
Present national Anthem of Bangladesh is the best. It not only defines the country but also promotes love between Hindus and Muslims and also Bangali.nationalism.
We want a stable Bangladesh.
Stratnews global disappointed me on this interview, no tough questions, laying back and allowing him to rant with his faulty narrative
Truth is hard to digest for you guys nowadays. Indian godi and shameless media started the disinformation and propaganda against Bangladesh on the behest of hasina. Bangladesh did not see any communal violence in decades, while everyday Muslims in india are targetted, lynched, mobbed and killed. What do you have to say about that? Oil your own pipe mate. We are a sovereign nation and we do not owe any explanation to anyone but our citizens. If india wants to have a good relation with Bangladesh, india has to first change it's attitude, mind their own business, have a bilateral relationship on equal parity because it's never a one way street mate. First get your own country straight and worry about your hindu radicals and hindu right wings! No one in india's immediate neighbourhood has any positive thoughts about your gov't policy or just india as a whole. On the other hand, Bangladesh does not have anything against indian people, on the ground people to people interaction is of a friendly and cooperative one, I can say that because I have Indian friends and they are not just muslims, they are sikhs, hindus. I believe it should remain that way but if india tries to intervene too much in our internal matters, Bangladeshis will not tolerate that and will put india to it's place and it's not a very good one. In order for you to earn respect, first learn to give respect! Start with getting that hindutva mindset out of your population. Would be a good starting point.
Please save Indian Muslim 🙏🙏🙏
Take back all Muslims leaving India to your country. ( Your slogan La Ila illilah ). Do you have that kind of guts. Don't do only Y/tube statement.
The interviewer should have mentioned Nepal and Bhutan didn't separate from India on religious ground when Mr. Shamsher talked about the border related issues.
Very poorly done interview. Looked like the role is reversed with only easy and anti hindu questions.
Anyway India is in for long haul. We will see the termites in 10 years from now.
But after oustering Sheikh Hasina, dismantled "Father of nation-Sheikh Mujib" and installed Jinnah in hearts, who looked down at Bengladeshis as slaves. The student's movement, was politically motivated, and was not for any positive development. Now after 1.5 months of her ouster, the students realised that their method of revolt was wrong. Revolution of unawares, uneducated and fools, purchases doom, and this shall be the biggest example in the world. Revolution in SE asia is not like that in Europe, which brings change not only in their country but also in world. And behind every fool, there is always an evil. This is as per sacred verse.
The students are very young and not wise. I would say, they are very foolish not to realize the consequence of what they did..
This was all planned by the BNP, Jamat and the ISI. And the students fell for it. The quota issue was very minor which was resolved but the students kept demonstating.
@@AF-yq9es Good that you introspected truly. But why this always happens in East, and particular in Bengal.
Always these people find themselves in deep gorge, and then implode, inviting the evil to play again!!!
@@AF-yq9es underlines one fact. Leadership in that part of world is null and void. Its not in their DNA. These people, submitted to Jinnah and Soharavardy, for their birth, who used to treat Bengalis as insects. They even discriminated Sheikh Mujib, underlining that, their DNA belongs to Pakistan.
@@Truthnvision Agree. For most wisdom comes with age. For others, nothing matters because of heard mentality.
A good full of emotions, as expected, interview. One thing that stands out from Mr. Shamsher M. Chowdhury's views is his suggestion for a change of "System"; a very hard task for any leader of a country.
What led the two Bangladeshi Hindus leading towards border and then get killed.
Killed by your trigger happy BSF.
They love india😂
So does Hasina 😂😂😂😂
Changing the secular status of Bangladesh is impossible. Islamists aren't politically stable. Hindus are safe. India is shedding crocodile's tears unnecessarily.
It's already changed and bangledesh is an officially Islamic country.... Bangladesh used to be secular country but it had been changed and Bangladesh became Islamic state by ammending the constitution of Bangladesh in 1988
Shut up! We have witness statements. You people know how to cover up. Hindus were never safe in Bangladesh! You go about RSS but Jammati are never in the fray of the media. BBC, Washington pist et al are dumb, deaf & blind?! If this happened in India, Taliban, ISIS, ISI, and all global media would have pounced on India!
Glad to hear some positive insights from Bdesh!
I wanted to hear what Bangladesh has to say about large scale illegal immigration of Bangladeshi's into India and what can be done to return them to Bangladesh. This is estimated at around 20 million. Many places in neighboring states have undergone dramatic change due to this flux.
How does it help to talk to a fellow sitting in BD who is liable to be shot if he says the wrong thing?
The youngster don't understand what is war. War is suffering, you are not alone you have a family to take care. The interim govt in Bangladesh must stop JAMAAT influence, if not your country will go down the drain.
We don't want any advice from Hindus. We only want jamat
Political unrest, communal oppression, attacks on different ideologies are going on in Bangladesh today. The situation may get worse in the coming days.
But they let go all the recognised terrorists of jamaat. Only lip service
Excellent vlog thanks for your efforts and comprehensive analysis about current affairs of Bangladesh
Sir have put every words that are facts and real scenario of Bangladesh
Bangladesh is reforming after the former fascist regime and the country has just taking direction and trying to rebuild the nation under the leadership of Nobel Peace Prize laureate and its fortunate for the future of Bangladesh to have once in a lifetime opportunity
So yes lets be positive Y’all
Nobody needs to panic on religious grounds
✌🏻 peace
This opportunistic person is blatantly lying. Brigadier gen. (Rtd) Mr. Sakawat Hossain, the Ministry of Interior adviser of Dr. Yunus's interim government and their prosecutors claimed that third-party snipers fired 7.62 American-made rifles into the crowd from high-rises and from secret locations to fuel the movement. That rifle is not used by any other organization including Bangladesh Police. Therefore, the former BNP leader is unknowingly or maliciously lying.
A good full of emotions, as expected, interview. One thing that stands out from Mr. Shamsher M. Chowdhury's views is his suggestion for a change of "System"; a hard task for any leader. I listened to Start News Global for the first time and enjoyed the segment.
What can he do but to speak about this and that. Jamat has infiltrated the rank and file of the entire society of Bangladesh. Most unfortunate!
VERY TRUE!
Just like RSS has infiltrated BJP
Read and follow the videos of Pakistani Jasoos in India, list of terrorist attacks or cross border terrorism since 1983 in India, APOSTATE PROPHET, APOSTATE ALADDIN,NABI ASLI, HARRIS SULTAN, Polygamy and SHARIA LAW. Akhanda Bangladesh or Greater Bangladesh, China Bangladesh Economic Corridor through Siliguri, possible defence pact between China and Bangladesh, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Let bangladesh stop atrocities happening against hindus i that country, then we can give him an ear... if all was hunky dori, why has their hindu population dropped at a v fast pace than the majority???? Any movement in bangladesh is not complete without a bout 100s hindu sacrificed in the violence
Over and above that illegal bangladeshis n rohingyas getting a free pass through bangladesh into india...
It seems Bangladesh governments writ doesn't run in the country. It seems nobody can stop the attack on the Hindus, whatever the reasons. India has to look after its interests , no matter what the reasons.
Lol
I watched for first 4 minutes and not able to see you are speaking about Hindus in Bangladesh
Who is hindu.. Bangladesh has no hindu. All are Bangladeshi
Dudes... What a naivity...what you read on Twitter is not the basis for India policy 😂
This gentleman is kind hearted and understand effectively the people of Bangladesh 🇧🇩, justice will prevail.
People talking about rights abusing their own minorities....Wow 🎉
First think about your own minority then poke your dirty paje3ts nose
Mind your own minorities !
Why didn't the burning of the Indian Cultural Center feature in the questions ? His point on "they haven't forgotten history" would've been moot. While he also accepted the anti-India sentiment on the street which conflicts with his earlier points. And his general tone didn't instill a feeling of goodwill as his default reasoning was "who did it first" and sans logic. This was the same person singing high praises of his ex-PM and India during the Biden visit. I wouldn't bother with him again.
I do wish Bangladesh all the best and hope that they focus on developing robust processes rather than promoting ideological and emotional figures or ideas, on this I do agree with Mr. Mahmud.
Mr. Sengupta seemed on a backfoot and letting him run through his tirade. Sorry to say but this was the first time I was disappointed with StratNewsGlobal.
You are terrorist
Realistic analysis.
Indian suno tomhara sukhka sapna tut giya.
Ask him few question about fundamental of islam to resurface his al-taquyiya.
I think the Host is a A.I . The worst ever Host ...Very disappointed.
Tnq sir somsher Mobin Chowdhury
Mr.Shamsir is a flip flop opportunist politician goes with flow of opportunity that's he is always waits for. He himself present as a historian & intectual but he is a sloppy intectual & historian.
The interviewer seems to a Bangladeshi sympathizer.
This man forgot that his ancestors were hindus just the way the students forgot their bloody partition in 1971.
thank god our ancestors reverted .otherwise we have to eat urine instead of meat
Very interesting... Thanks
@stratnewsglobal: I am stopping to watch this now. That is after 10 minutes. I m not able to see any comment on Hindus in Bangladesh.
If you have discussed then give me the details of its time; accordingly I will jump there and watch this video
