ISI, Al Qaeda terror network growing in Dhaka: Advani

‘‘After the change of government in Bangladesh, there has been an increase in the activities of the Al Qaeda and ISI there,’’ he said.

Asked whether Dhaka’s support to the militants was covert or overt, he said: ‘‘All insurgent groups of the North-east are getting refuge there.’’ According to agency reports, Bangladesh government has promptly denied the charges.

On America’s war on terrorism, Advani said: ‘‘Many believe we should take help from a foreign nation to curb terrorism but I don’t agree. We will face terrorism, whether inner or from across the border, on our own and don’t need anyone’s help.’’
