Manmohan's anxieties over Bangladesh
The anxieties expressed by the Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh are more than unusual. His suspicion may be based on intelligence report but the premises on which the prediction is deduced are not totally reliable. The arrow of suspicion thrown toward Jamaat-e- Islami is reasonably targeted. All the top leaders of Jamaat are in custody facing war crime trials.
So, it is natural for Jamaat to go all out to unseat the present government. But Manmohan's statistics of 25% Jamaat being die-hard anti Indian supporters is based on serious wrong notion. Jamaat may be guided or funded by foreign intelligence agencies but it will not be justified to conclude that all their voters are anti Indian or ISI brainwashed.
Young Jamaat leaders are trying to come out of old legacies. We should walk on our own democratic path withstanding all provocation from abroad.
