Watch | 'Possibility of Restoration of Two Directional Flow of Terrorists in India,' Ajai Sahni Says

New Delhi: In the aftermath of the explosion in Delhi, executive director of the Institute for Conflict Management and the South Asia Terrorism Portal Ajai Sahni said that "the global geopolitics is extremely fragile," in an interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire. 

Further, he pointed out that India is "much better prepared now" as "we've dismantled most of the major networks of support which were principally headed by Students' Islamic Movement of India [SIMI] and the Indian Mujahideen".

Sahni also underlined that at the moment we have "a global environment of geopolitical fragility in South Asia,” primarily because of a deepening relationship between Pakistan and Bangladesh, a country increasingly hostile to India and where the hostility could increase after Bangladesh's February elections. "There's a possibility of restoration of two directional flow of terrorists in India [from Pakistan and Bangladesh]," he said.

Sahni also believes there is a danger or risk that an emboldened Pakistan, encouraged by the geopolitical outcome of the Pahalgam massacre and Operation Sindoor and also strengthened by its relationship with America and China, might seek to provoke terror attacks through its proxies in India.
