NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) in Bangladesh started off as a stooge of the ISI. It took part in several meetings with ISI officials and had originally planned to scale up infiltrations into India in a bid to create demographic changes.
At the behest of the ISI, the DGFI roped in the Jamaat-e-Islami to undertake this mission. However, the DGFI over the years worked closely with the Bangladesh army and carried out a successful war on terror.
The ISI was however unhappy with the turn of events as it had lost a strong partner in Bangladesh. In the last couple of years, the DGFI has successfully conducted operations against terror outfits and worked closely with the Indian Intelligence to fight the ULFA. More importantly, it managed to keep Bangladesh free of transnational terrorism.
