The Economist on the failed coup in Bangladesh (A MUST READ!)

[Zabaniyah]

Probably joke of the century in military affairs: A band of a dozen mid-ranking and retired officers intended to stage a coup along with support of terrorist group, Hiz-ut-Tahir.

There must be certain conditions that must be present for a coup to occur.

In fact, the father of one of the accused officers does not even believe the government's official statement.

And just since when did HuT become a terrorist group along with links with activities in Iraq and Afghanistan? They don't even have any combat experience. So let alone staging a coup

In fact, HuT is not even a terrorist group from the US point of view. And if it was, just how does it have its presence in the US?
Hizb ut-Tahrir America :: Resuming the Islamic Way of Life on the Method of Prophethood

So since when did HuT become a global terrorist organization? Who is saying that they are a global terrorist organization? Who? What? Where?

Just what is it that RAW wants exactly?

A lot of cheap propaganda out there.

For long the Indians have been accusing the ISI of interfering in Bangladesh. Now we have a highly reputed magazine backing the claim that RAW is doing dirty deeds in Bangladesh. The importance of the claim is in the fact that the grievances of Major Zia and others is based on the nefarious role RAW is playing in Bangladesh. It is no surprise the Indians will immediately be put on the defensive and try to cover their tracks by making personal attacks.

This is no longer a conspiracy theory. It now has credibility and will be read widely in Bangladesh.

The Economist describes his comment as plausible and specific.

Of course, plausible means ''Seeming reasonable'' - as in the claim that intelligence agents of foreign country are working in your country, as opposed to outlandish - like ''undersea cable between bangladesh and india'' or vagule like ''every practicing muslim is victimised''. Get it?

Nice try spinning that as some kind of endorsement. And to think you were bragging about your english, LOL!

The fact that RAW has an office within DGFI is the crucial allegation here. Major Zia alleged in his email that RAW officers had interrogated him at DGFI. This is quite a shocking revelation and The Economist has now given it credence. This was the pretext for the coup attempt.

More spin. NO, the Economist has published this allegation made by a wanted coup accused belonging to an extremist group banned in many countries including BD. They have posted both sides of the story and comments from both sides.

If that is giving credence, then I must say you are quite desperate for spin.

For example - JUD mass murderer hafiz saeed makes many alligations in his rallies and they are printed in BBC covering the meeting. Does not mean that is an endorsement of the claim. DOES NOT. Period.

I repeat The Economist has stated that Ishraq Ahmed's allegations regarding RAW activities in Bangladesh are plausible and specific. Ishraq Ahmed appears to be a hard drinking and atheist Islamist.

There is no evidence that raw has any office with dgfi. how would zia know if men interrogating him were actually raw officers....i am pretty sure raw officers would introduce themselves as raw agents. Besides a major is insignificant in bangladesh, very small post. this coup is bunch of officers going rogue thats all. raw and bal government used it to their advantage using the media.

 

[BanglaBhoot]

The Economist in one article has managed to nullify the Army statement on the coup attempt and all the Indian propaganda that has appeared in the last few days.

I have heard the same allegation several months back. Allegations that RAW were interrogating people and abducting others have been circulating for two years now. This is all new only to you.

India propagated lie and deception at two levels:

1) There was so called "coup" which had been busted by its own account as 10-16 officers hardly can do jack when Hasina has brigade size force protecting her.

2) Then there is lie of labeling these officers extremists and that one also busted by latest report like economist other reports.

So what indians left with is typical parrot talk and echo chamber to spin same two indian lies and decetion again and again and again.....

 

[Zabaniyah]

Is there any shadow of doubt that RAW is very active in Bangladesh? One just has to wonder what their goals are. Are they trying to incite a civil war in Bangladesh or something? Remember the civil war in Ceylon?

How do you think The Economist know that RAW has an undersea cable along with an HQ in Dhaka? I bet it's the Indian Consulate as their HQ.

Since January 23rd there have been 8 articles from websites operated by RAW or the Indian military alleging that Islamists were behind the coup attempt. Does their repetition make it true then? According to your own comment it is a false claim simply because it has been repeated.

This post is from the economist you Indian.

Calling someone Indian has surely become a major abuse!!!
