Former information adviser Mahfuz Alam has declared that those safeguarding Indian interests in Bangladesh will not be allowed to remain secure. Speaking at an all-party resistance rally organized by Inqilab Mancha on Monday, Alam accused sections of the country’s cultural, intellectual, and legal sectors of being co-opted to maintain Indian dominance. He claimed that some individuals have sold their conscience and are consciously engaging in anti-national activities. Alam described these individuals as foreign 'assets' and cited the case of Osman Hadi, whom he said was attacked for standing against such forces. He criticized the silence of intellectuals and cultural figures during the attack, calling it part of a broader conspiracy. Referring to past political violence, Alam warned that patience has limits and that future retaliation would not be restrained. His remarks come amid heightened nationalist rhetoric and growing sensitivity over Bangladesh’s relations with India. Analysts suggest the speech reflects deepening divisions within political and civil society circles over foreign influence and national sovereignty.
