BNP Wins in Bangladesh: Why Pakistan is Obsessed with India and Fears 'Another Afghanistan'

• BNP's victory in Bangladesh sparks mixed reactions in Pakistan: celebration over Sheikh Hasina's 'pro-India' government's departure, but concern over new government's ties with India.
• Pakistani analysts see BNP's return as positive for Pakistan due to Khaleda Zia's past friendly stance, but fear Bangladesh might not remain anti-India.
• Pakistan's biggest fear is Bangladesh becoming 'another Afghanistan,' where the Taliban, initially seen as a victory, now has close ties with India and defies Pakistan.
• Pakistani experts acknowledge India's strong influence over Bangladesh due to its geographical location and trade routes, making it difficult for any government to anger India.
• Pakistan fears India will establish working relations with BNP, similar to the Taliban, potentially thwarting Pakistan's efforts to encircle India in South Asia.
