BNP demands explanation from govt on RAW operations in B'desh

Bangladesh's main opposition BNP today demanded an explanation from the government on Indian external intelligence agency's operations in the country following a report that RAW operatives captured a Pakistani ISI agent from Dhaka.
"We want to know from the government if the news is true or not. If it's true, we want explanation from the government to this end," said acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir of ex-prime minister Khaleda Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
If the report was true, the government must also explain how an agent of a foreign country could enter into the country and how agents of another country could capture him from Bangladesh's soil, Alamgir said.

Quoting an Indian newspaper, Bangladesh's leading newspaper Prothom Alo reported that RAW men apprehended Indian Mujahideen's (IM) Pakistani operative Zia-ur Rehman alias Waqas, who was hiding in Bangladesh with ISI support.
The report said Waqas, an ISI agent who had been loaned to IM, was due to leave for Pakistan via Nepal when the RAW operatives caught him at the Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal Airport and managed to take him to New Delhi.
Bangladesh police expressed their ignorance about the incident, with a senior police spokesman saying "we have no idea of any such incident at the airport".
