Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30. Officials stated that ‘The possibility of Chinese agencies trying to influence the Northeast-based militants to create disturbance during the polls cannot be ruled out, but such groups have very limited capability after their camps were destroyed by Myanmar Army’. Sources further pointed out that though India has cordial relations with Bangladesh, the possibility of the anti-India forces, which have bases in that country, trying to create trouble during the polls cannot be ruled out and that is why, the security of India-Bangladesh border cannot be overlooked. Terrorist outfits like Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Neo JMB, which has links with the Islamic State, Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) are still active in Bangladesh and they may try to sneak into India to create trouble during the polls.
