Muhammad Yunus loyalists begin formation of ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’
The shadow of terrorism looms larger over Bangladesh as Islamist-jihadist students, reportedly loyal to Muhammad Yunus, escalate their plans to form an armed militia under the banner of the “Islamic Revolutionary Army”.
Spearheaded by the ‘Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’, this alarming development signals a potential shift towards militant radicalization, threatening not only the stability of Bangladesh but also the security of neighbouring India and the broader South Asian region.
Backed by external forces, including Pakistani spy agency Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) and inspired by destabilizing tactics used elsewhere, this movement could mark the onset of a dangerous era in regional geopolitics.
India will have no choice left but act in self defence and crush the Terror Forces within the confines of Bangladesh itself. Sheikh Hasina should firm a Govt in Exile to save the future of Bangladesh.
According to a Facebook post, ‘Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’, which is funded and patronized by Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and George Soros, it will begin formation of ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’ from December 20, 2024, for which it has called on youths to report at the playground of the Dhaka University at 8 am.
In the announcement, Ashikur Rahman Jim of ‘Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’, stated, initially 3-days training on martial arts shall be given to selected members while later one-month’s “military training shall be given by army and paramilitary forces”.

The announcement further stated, initial three-day martial arts training would be provided to selected members, followed by a month-long “military training conducted by army and paramilitary forces”.
This move mirrors the infamous success of the CIA’s plot to destabilize the Russia-backed government in Ukraine, where student rebels formed a militia that wreaked havoc on the state’s infrastructure, destroyed the police force, and carried out brutal acts of violence against Russian-speaking populations.
Similarly, Pakistan’s notorious Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is attempting to replicate this strategy in Bangladesh by forming a student militia aimed at targeting Hindus, religious minorities, and India, with the ultimate goal of turning Bangladesh into a failed state akin to Pakistan.
Pakistan’s notorious Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) is following this theory in Bangladesh. It is trying now going to form the armed militia of the students with agendas of targeting Hindus and religious minorities and India with the blueprint of turning Bangladesh into a failed state similarly as Pakistan.
Highly credible sources reveal that at least five officers of the Pakistani military’s Special Services Group (SSG) arrived in Dhaka in November 2024, traveling through Dubai and Qatar.
Their mission: to train members of the ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’. While the SSG is not ranked among the world’s elite commando forces, it has gained notoriety for providing specialized training to terrorist organizations.
Established in 1955 and based in Tarbela, Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the SSG is known by its aliases “Black Storks” and “Maroon Berets”.
Intelligence sources indicate that the SSG began training 300 operatives from Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) in September 2023, using facilities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
These operatives, transported to Pakistan in batches, often crossed borders through Bangladesh and India.
The operation was directly coordinated by ISI. The ISI’s intensified covert operations include training and deploying HuT operatives to destabilize South Asia.
Reports indicate militants have infiltrated India and Bangladesh under various disguises, aiming to establish sleeper cells and spread radical ideologies.
The deployment of HuT operatives represents a calculated strategy to undermine regional stability.
The Pakistani military’s Special Services Group (SSG), although not ranked among the world’s top commando forces like the US Navy SEALs, British SAS, Israeli Sayeret Matkal, Russian Spetsnaz, or India’s Para SF – it is infamous for providing specialized training to terrorist organizations.
According to intelligence sources, the SSG began training 300 Hizb Ut-Tahrir operatives in September 2023, primarily at facilities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
These operatives were transported to Pakistan in 12 batches of 25 individuals each, often crossing borders through Bangladesh and India before reaching Pakistan. This operation was directly coordinated by ISI.
It was earlier reported in the media – in a calculated move to destabilize South Asia, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has intensified its covert operations by training and deploying operatives from the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT).
This alarming development follows reports of ISI’s involvement in smuggling weapons and infiltrating militants into neighboring countries under various disguises.
With a growing network of sleeper cells and radicalized individuals targeting India and Bangladesh, the threat posed by these operations cannot be overstated.
There is urgent need for countermeasures to effectively combat evil plots of the nexus between ISI and HuT, shedding light on the extensive training programs, and infiltration methods.
The growing nexus between Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and extremist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) is raising alarm across South Asia.
With covert operations designed to infiltrate neighboring countries, ISI’s recent training of 300 HuT operatives underscores a deliberate strategy to destabilize the region.
Reports of militants entering India and Bangladesh under various disguises reveal a calculated effort to spread radical ideologies and create sleeper cells.
While a leader of Pakistan’s ruling Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N), Irshad Ahmed Khan, publicly admitted on a major Indian broadcast network that Pakistan is smuggling weapons concealed in commercial goods sent to Bangladesh via direct vessels from Karachi Port, other alarming activities are unfolding.
For example, Pakistan, a country which is unable to ensure supply of basic foodstuff, including sugar to its citizen has stunned everyone by declaring of sending 25 thousand metric tons of sugar to Bangladesh.
Credible intelligence reports indicate that Pakistani networks are preparing to ship massive quantities of heroin, cocaine, and synthetic opioids to Bangladesh under the pretense of sugar exports.
These drugs are expected to infiltrate Indian markets, where they could exacerbate an already severe drug abuse crisis.
The implications of this narcotics nexus are vast. Indian youth and communities are particularly vulnerable, as an influx of drugs could escalate addiction rates and undermine social stability.
Moreover, these illicit substances could be rerouted to Western nations via Indian intermediaries, further complicating the global war on drugs.
If intercepted, these drug consignments could damage India’s reputation, leading to stricter scrutiny of its exports and potentially harming its economic and trade relationships.
Such outcomes would serve Pakistan’s broader agenda of destabilizing its neighbor while profiting from the lucrative drug trade.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the withdrawal of previous security clearance requirements for Pakistani nationals or individuals of Pakistani origin entering Bangladesh, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been facilitating the infiltration of militants from groups such as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and others into Bangladesh.
These individuals enter under various disguises, including as traders, tourists, and members of the Tablighi Jamaat.
According to a top-ranking intelligence agency, ISI has also begun sending trained Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) operatives into India.
Counterterrorism researchers note that Hizb ut-Tahrir has been active in Bangladesh since the 1980s.
The organization has infiltrated various colleges, universities, and even civil and military administrations under different guises. Its growing influence poses a significant threat to regional stability.
Dipanjan Chakraborty, a former National Security Guard (NSG) official, has raised alarms about the presence of numerous sleeper cells in West Bengal.
He emphasized the role of organized rackets that assist infiltrators in obtaining Indian identity documents, such as Aadhaar cards and ration cards.
Meanwhile, in Tripura, over 1,400 Muslim infiltrators were arrested in September 2024 alone. In Tripura, over 1,400 Muslim infiltrators were arrested in September 2024 alone.
Allegations have also surfaced against several retired and dismissed officers of the Bangladesh Army, who are reportedly supplying weapons, ammunition, and explosives to Ansarullah Bangla Team (later rebranded as Ansar al-Islam, a local Al-Qaeda affiliate) and Hizb ut-Tahrir operatives.
A well-organized network from Myanmar’s Arakan State is supplying automatic rifles and other arms to Bangladeshi terrorist groups.
Allegations also implicate retired and dismissed officers of the Bangladesh Army in supplying weapons to Ansarullah Bangla Team (now rebranded as Ansar Al Islam) and HuT operatives.
The ISI’s training and deployment of Hizb ut-Tahrir operatives signify a grave threat to regional security.
With their infiltration into India and Bangladesh, these terrorists aim to establish a network of sleeper cells and further their radical agenda.
ISI also has exploited the discontent within Bihari camps across Bangladesh to foster anti-Hindu and anti-India sentiments.
These camps, notorious for illegal activities, have become hubs for ISI-funded initiatives, distributing food and essentials to gain loyalty while airing jihadist propaganda.
By mid-2024, over 5,000 trained Biharis had been deployed across Bangladesh, with their numbers surging to 50,000 by late July.
Armed with explosives and automatic weapons, these militants launched attacks on police stations, organized jailbreaks, and looted armories.
Jashimuddin Rahmani, leader of Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), has been instrumental in recruiting Biharis and forming sleeper cells in Indian states.
His connections with Rohingya militants and terror outfits in Jammu and Kashmir further highlight the regional security threat emanating from Bangladesh’s Bihari camps.
Rahmani’s militia, reportedly supported by Pakistan Army funding, is also running a cyber regiment targeting social media accounts critical of Islamist ideologies.
Recently, they succeeded in taking down the Facebook page of Mayukh Ranjan Ghosh, a prominent Indian journalist, by filing false copyright claims.

The formation of the ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’ and the growing influence of radical groups in Bangladesh pose an existential threat to regional peace and stability.
With ISI’s covert support and the active participation of extremist factions, the region faces a multifaceted challenge that demands immediate international attention and decisive action.
Failure to address these developments could have catastrophic implications not only for South Asia but for global security as well.
The reported creation of the ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’ underlines an escalating threat that transcends national boundaries, calling for urgent international intervention.
Bangladesh, a nation already grappling with extremist undercurrents, risks becoming a crucible for terrorism with far-reaching implications.
If left unchecked, these developments could destabilize South Asia, embolden global jihadist networks, and foster an environment ripe for further radicalization.
The global community must act swiftly and decisively to counter this peril, ensuring that peace and security prevail over the forces of terror and chaos.
According to another report, the shadowy hand of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has once again found fertile ground for sowing chaos, this time within the Bihari camps scattered across Bangladesh.
These camps, notorious for harboring criminal enterprises, have transformed into breeding grounds for anti-Hindu and anti-India terrorism.
Leveraging the deep-seated grievances and radical ideologies within these communities, the ISI has orchestrated a sinister campaign aimed at destabilizing Bangladesh and igniting regional unrest.
As this covert operation unfolds, its implications threaten to reverberate across South Asia, demanding immediate attention and action.
In the early hours of March 25, 1971, during the infamous “Operation Searchlight”, Pakistani forces unleashed a reign of terror on Bengalis.
Thousands of Biharis in Dhaka’s Mohammadpur and Mirpur areas joined in the atrocities, which included lynching, looting, and raping Bengalis.
This community’s actions during Bangladesh’s liberation war cemented their infamy as collaborators of the occupying forces.
After Bangladesh’s independence, these individuals, who had fervently opposed liberation and sought repatriation to Pakistan, became known as “Stranded Pakistanis”.
Today, Bihari camps scattered across Dhaka and 13 other districts in Bangladesh are infamous for illegal activities, including drug trafficking, arms dealing, and human trafficking.
While official statistics estimate the Bihari population in Bangladesh at 300,000, the actual figure may exceed 500,000.
These individuals trace their roots to regions like Bihar, West Bengal, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh in India, who migrated to East Pakistan after the partition of 1947.
The Bihari community’s refusal to assimilate into Bengali society has created an enduring divide.
Most do not speak Bangla and harbor deep-seated animosity toward Bengalis, particularly non-Muslims.
A significant portion views Hindus and India with open hostility, perpetuating a narrative of hate.
Under the supervision of ISI operatives, groups of Biharis were sent to Pakistan for training in explosives and weaponry.
Meanwhile, within the camps, ISI-funded initiatives distributed food and essentials, fostering loyalty and resentment against the Bangladeshi government.
Local cable operators began airing Urdu documentaries highlighting alleged persecution of Muslims in India, alongside jihadist propaganda from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. These efforts fueled anti-Hindu and anti-India sentiments within the camps.
By mid-2024, over 5,000 trained Biharis had been deployed across Bangladesh, with their numbers surging to 50,000 by late July.
Armed with explosives and automatic weapons, they launched attacks on police stations and organized jailbreaks.
The ensuing chaos saw widespread looting of police armories, theft of bulletproof vests, and grenade seizures.
On December 19, 2024, during a closed-door meeting Muhammad Yunus urged Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif to “settle the issues of 1971 to help Dhaka move forward with its relationship with Islamabad”.
In response, Sharif called for a strategic relationship between Dhaka and Islamabad.On August 5, 2024, amidst escalating unrest, Sheikh Hasina had to leave
Bangladesh. Seizing the opportunity, local ISI handlers distributed cash among Biharis, directing them to unleash a wave of violence.
They targeted Awami League supporters, Hindus, and temples, engaging in arson, looting, and sexual violence.
The unrest spilled onto the streets as demonstrators openly waved flags of Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Radical groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir and Hefazat-e-Islam joined the fray, further exacerbating the crisis.
Intelligence sources reveal that Jashimuddin Rahmani, the kingpin of Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), now rebranded as Ansar Al-Islam, has been capitalizing on this unrest.
Following his release from prison, Rahmani has focused on recruiting Biharis fluent in Hindi, Oriya, and other Indian languages for terrorist operations inside India.
He has also established links with Rohingya militants in Chittagong and the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA), seeking to expand terror activities across South Asia.
Rahmani’s strategy involves building sleeper cells in Indian states like Bihar, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh while maintaining communication with terror outfits in Jammu and Kashmir.
This cross-border nexus highlights the growing regional security threat emanating from Bangladesh’s Bihari camps.
Assam STF has arrested eight Al Qaeda terrorists from Bangladesh.
Rahmani’s militia, reportedly supported by Pakistan Army funding, is also running a cyber regiment targeting social media accounts critical of Islamist ideologies.
Recently, they succeeded in taking down the Facebook page of Mayukh Ranjan Ghosh, a prominent Indian journalist, by filing false copyright claims.
