The AQIS release describes the Bangladesh government as “obedient agents of Hindutva menace and Taghut” who did not bring the Islamophobes to justice but has put so-called “innocent” persons on death row while it was AQIS mujahideen who had killed those who defamed Islam.
 
 
 
A day later, AQIS threatened to conduct suicide bombings in Delhi, Bombay (Mumbai), Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat and teach a lesson to “Hindu terrorists” occupying India after the now suspended spokesperson of the BJP was accused of blasphemy. While the threat to India comes after the comments made by the then BJP spokesperson days ago, the government of Sheikh Hasina was blasted for Lilian and Bijoy, both of whom were done to death for alleged blasphemy in 2014 and 2015 respectively. Intriguingly, the only country which has an ax to grind with both India and its ally Bangladesh is Pakistan, from where this blasphemy storm was generated on social media by using Twitter handles based in the Af-Pak region. While the Pakistani establishment is aware of the rising radicalization and spread of terror in the Islamic republic, the Indian worry is the inability of the Pakistan Army to stamp out the jihadi factories and radicalizers in that Islamic republic.
 
 
The two statements are also indicative of the fact that there is a rise of Al Qaeda in the Af-Pak region after the Taliban virtually chased out the American troops on August 15, 2021. Intelligence inputs indicate that Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri is based in Afghanistan the ruling Taliban denies it and has conveyed to India that the global terrorist has taken shelter in neighboring Iran. Tehran too denies the presence of Zawahiri in Iran and has conveyed that the Al Qaeda leader is based in Afghanistan under the shelter of the ruling Taliban. Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed by US troops in Pakistan in 2011.
