After losing its most important asset in Bangladesh in the form of Sheikh Hasina Wajid, India is in a frenzy from top to bottom. Now it has been accused by the Indian media that the feat of regime change in Bangladesh has been done by Pakistan’s secret agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Indian media has claimed that Pakistan’s secret agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is responsible for overthrowing the government of Sheikh Hasina Wajid in the intelligence reports of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh recently saw massive protests over the quota system that led to the ouster of Sheikh Hasina’s government.
Jamaat-e-Islami, known for its anti-India stance, aimed to turn the student protests into a political movement.
The report claimed that members of Islami Chhatra Shabbir had planned it for months.
Indian media quoted Bangladeshi intelligence sources as saying that a significant part of this funding came from Chinese entities operating in Pakistan.
The report claimed that during the Bangladesh protests, most of the anti-Awami League posts on social media, videos of violence against protesters and posters denigrating Sheikh Hasina were produced by the BNP and its affiliated accounts. A large portion of them were posted from US-based accounts.
Why did the protests start in Bangladesh?
The protests are rooted in a controversial quota system that reserved up to 30 percent of government jobs for the families of veterans of Bangladesh’s 1971 independence war against Pakistan.

Although Bangladesh’s Supreme Court reduced the job quota to 5 percent, the protests took a different turn, with protesters calling for Hasina’s resignation. On August 4, the protests intensified as more than 100 people were killed in clashes with the police.
