New Delhi, April 23 :    New Delhi, April 23:  India's theory that the mayhem by Bangladesh Rifles in Baroibari was a result of 'local adventurism'' is coming under strain. Union home secretary Kamal Pande had said yesterday that the Bangladesh government was 'unaware'' of the BDR action. However, reports from Bangladesh suggest that BDR chief Major-General Fazlur Rehman had met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina immediately after sections of the force 'moved into'' Pyrdiwah, and kept her informed of the developments. Rehman, according to sources in Dhaka, briefed several ministers in the Awami League government, including the home minister. He had apprised Hasina of the situation unfolding along the border in general and Pyrdiwah, a slice of territory in 'adverse possession'' of India, in particular. In an interview to a local daily, Manab Jamin, on April 21, a senior BDR officer is quoted as having said that Rehman had discussed with Hasina the Pyrdiwah problem and the BSF move to construct a footpath there. Hasina apparently approved of the BDR decision to move into Pyrdiwah to prevent the BSF from surreptitiously laying claim to the territory. Maps in possession of Dhaka and Delhi show Pyrdiwah as Bangladesh's but in 'adverse possession of India'. The report quoted Rehman as saying that he got the impression that Hasina was 'all along'' with him as she was a 'patriot''. Another Bangladeshi newspaper, Prothom Alo, said in a column today that a day before the BSF moved into Baroibari, which is Indian territory 'in adverse possession of Dhaka', the home minister, Mohammad Nasim, addressed a public meeting in Dhaka singing paeans to the BDR. The daily quotes Nasim as saying: 'Our brave BDR jawans have taught India a stern lesson.' In the backdrop of Nasim's comments at the rally, the columnist has asked whether he had prior knowledge of the April 18 troop movement from Madhupur cantonment in Mymensingh district towards Baroibari. The BSF had moved into the area to pressure the Bangladeshis to vacate Pyrdiwah. Nasim expressed regret over the killing of the 16 BSF jawans at Baroibari only after the Awami League secretariat asked him to. Contrary to what spin doctors in Dhaka claim, Rehman is understood to have 'good relations'' with the Awami League government. He was a mukti joddha (freedom fighter) in the 1971 War of Liberation and had undergone training at an Indian intelligence camp in Chakrata. In fact, on March 31, he helped organise a rally for an association of freedom fighters in Dhaka. 'There is no substance in the claims being made by certain quarters in Delhi that Rehman is pro-BNP (the main Opposition party) or was collaborating with it,'' a Bangladesh observer said. Five days after the massacre of the jawans in Baroibari, the BSF chief's preliminary report has indicated that the operation to move into the area was ill-planned. He is understood to have said that adequate number of jawans and a matching firepower had not been mobilised before the BSF entered Baroibari. The BSF troops were vastly outnumbered by the BDR and the Bangladesh army and easily overpowered.
