After India cut ties, Turkey-backed group in Bangladesh circulates map showing…, Posters feature…

New Delhi: After the Modi government severed ties with Turkey over its support for Pakistan across various sectors—including security, aviation, education, and trade—Turkey has now shifted its focus to Bangladesh, where it is now actively working to replicate its Pakistan-style engagement model.

According to an Economic Times report quoting sources, an alleged Turkish NGO-backed Islamist group has come up in Dhaka under the banner ‘Saltanat-e-Bangla’. The group has published a map promoting “Greater Bangladesh” that includes Myanmar’s Arakan State, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and the entire Northeast region of India

Posters featuring the map have reportedly been displayed in university halls across Dhaka and other areas popular among youth and students. Notably, some individuals previously aligned with the Yunus regime have expressed support for the idea of integrating India’s northeastern states into Bangladesh.

It is important to note that ever since Muhammad Yunus took charge of the Bangladesh government, Turkey has increased its engagement through proposed military supplies to the Bangladesh armed forces.

Turkish NGOs aligned with the ruling AKP have also grown increasingly active in Bangladesh, with Pakistan allegedly playing a role in bringing the two countries closer since August last year.
