Indian intelligence officials say they have unravelled a US-funded move to topple Sheikh Hasina's government in Bangladesh and 'weaken' the Left regime in Tripura.
West Bengal's ruling party Trinamool Congress, which is said to have been hugely funded by the US in its oust-Left drive in West Bengal between 2009-2011, has transferred millions of dollars to its fundamentalist associates in Bangladesh, they claim.
A central intelligence report accessed by a bdnews24.com com correspondent in India says Trinamool MP in Rajya Sabha Ahmed Hassan Imran and another Maulana Asif Khan (originally from Teknaf) had been sending huge amounts of money to Jamaat and BNP over the past six months.
"The whole idea is to foment unrest on a large scale that would involve killing of Awami League leaders and activists and public disorder," said a top central intelligence official.
BNP and Jamaat leaders have been meting out those threats and pushing for a fresh election, almost in tandem with the US.
Pakistani agencies are also involved, the source claims.
