ShareThe deteriorating situation in Bangladesh can further increase the tension in Manipur. Security agencies have issued an alert regarding this. According to this, taking advantage of what is happening in Bangladesh, North-East can be turned into a war zone. Such a claim has been made in some news reports quoting sources. It has been told that these are very favorable conditions for the Bangladesh-based radical group Jamaatul Ansar Fil Hindal Sharqiya or Jamaatul Ansar. The reason is that Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) has very close ties with the Kuki-Chin National Front.
Jamaatul Ansar and Kuki Chin National Front are running arms training camps in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. According to News18, it was earlier revealed that the two organizations had entered into a written agreement to conduct the training. According to sources, Jamaatul Ansar is allying with local organizations as their agenda is to destabilize India and the Northeast-based militant groups are ready to join hands. It also states that drug money from Myanmar for weapons, radical agenda from AQIS and pressure from the US side to create a separate country is another game. Sources said that the government should keep an eye on this.
It is worth mentioning that earlier Jamaatul Ansar, Fil Hindal Sharkiya and Kuki-Chin National Front’s plan to attack government establishments was revealed. Then Bangladeshi agencies conducted military operations and arrested about 20 KNF members with weapons. According to security agencies, KNF is capable of destabilizing the region. It also has a lot of weapons and drugs. They said that there is a full stock of weapons at the hideouts of Kuki militants in Manipur.
According to the state police, the terrorists have very high flying drones. Apart from this, they have missile systems equipped with wind system, AK 47, INSAS, carbine and many other weapons. A source said that they have 6000 weapons which is a matter of concern.
