Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy claimed Bangladesh has "become another Pakistan" and warned the development should concern India. Speaking virtually in New Delhi, he alleged growing ISI influence and extremist activity in Bangladesh while criticising the country's political situation after recent elections

New Delhi: Ousted Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, on Wednesday warned that the country had "become another Pakistan", adding that the "development should be a matter of concern for India".

Speaking virtually from Maryland in the United States during an address at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in New Delhi on Wednesday, the senior Awami League leader claimed that foreign intelligence agencies, particularly Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), now operate with what he called "an open hand" in the country.

"What should concern India most is that Bangladesh has become another Pakistan on India's eastern side. You have another Pakistan today on your eastern front... al-Qaeda operatives are speaking at public rallies. This is what is happening in Bangladesh, and this does not portend well for India or the world at large," he said.
