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 neighboring 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.
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........
