In a move that has set alarm bells ringing in New Delhi, Pakistan and Bangladesh have signed a visa-free agreement for diplomatic and official passport holders. This historic thaw in relations comes more than five decades after the 1971 Liberation War tore the two apart. While the deal may seem diplomatic on the surface, Indian intelligence circles are concerned it could offer Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operatives easier access to Dhaka, and by extension, India’s vulnerable northeastern frontier. The pact also includes cooperation on police training, anti-terrorism, and narcotics control. But what lies beneath the bonhomie? Is Bangladesh turning a page, and turning away from India? Has Pakistan found a new foothold in India’s backyard? We break down the implications of this new power dynamic in South Asia and what India must brace for next.#pakistan #bangladesh #india #indiasecurity #pakistanspy #bangladeshspy #visafreeagreement #pakistanbangladeshdeal #indiabangladesh #visafreeentry #isi #neindiasecurity #southasiageopolitics #modi #bangladeshnews #pakistanintel #indiaalert #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
