Yunus aide threatens to take over 7 NE states if India takes action against Pak

A former Bangladesh army officer and close associate of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has suggested that Dhaka should consider aligning with China to take control of India's northeastern states in the event that India launches a retaliatory strike against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack.
Yunus' interim government on Friday distanced itself from the remarks made by Major General (Retd) ALM Fazlur Rahman on his social media account.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Rahman wrote, "If India attacks Pakistan, Bangladesh should occupy the seven states of Northeastern India. I think it is necessary to start discussions with China on a joint military arrangement."
Rahman was appointed as the chairman of the National Independent Commission by the Yunus-led interim government in December 2024. The commission was tasked with investigating the 2009 Bangladesh Rifles revolt and the resulting killings.
