New Delhi courts an ‘enemy’ like a friend
Begum Khaleda Zia was accorded
a warm reception during her recent visit to India. But the former Prime
Minister of Bangladesh has always been anti-India. There’s nothing to suggest
that she has changed.
Like her late husband President
Ziaur Rahman, Begum Zia is intensely anti-Indian and instinctively
pro-Pakistan. In November 1977, President Rahman converted the Directorate of
Forces Intelligence, set up in 1972, into the Directorate-General of Forces
Intelligence. An organisational clone of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence
Directorate and linked almost umbilically to it, the DGFI was established
shortly after a visit to Dhaka by the then ISI chief, Lt-Gen Ghulam Jillani
Khan. Many of its officers have been trained at the ISI’s training centre at
Islamabad.
