A coup in Bangladesh during Muhammad Yunus’s visit to China? Force movement, Dhaka deployment attracted attention
It is pointed out that the 9th Division of the Bangladesh Army is mobilizing and moving to the capital in a phased manner. The Army is acting cautiously and strengthening its position.
Mujhammad Yunus, Chief of the Bangladesh Provisional Government
Bangladesh has been speculating on military speculation about the coup when Muhammad Yunus, chief adviser to the interim government, left the country during a four-day visit.
Although Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman dismissed the rumor and urged patience, people were dissatisfied.
It is speculated that the Army may oppose the provisional government amid a growing tension between the military and government and student-led actions.
Will the Bangladesh Army stage coup be held?
Such rumors and speculation gained credibility after Bangladesh’s army increased its deployment in the capital Dhaka.
It is pointed out that the 9th Division of the Bangladesh Army is mobilizing and moving to the capital in a phased manner.
If media coverage can be trusted, the military will act cautiously and consolidate its position.
What did the Army leader say?
After speculations about a possible coup or the implementation of martial law or emergency declarations began to tour, General Walker came out in public, emphasizing the dedication, commitment and professionalism of the armed forces.
In public speeches by senior army officials across the country in Dhaka State’s “Official Address”, he praised the military’s dedication, professionalism and resilience.
He also warned that misinformation should not be allowed to cause interference.
Army chief criticizes Muhammad Yunus
In a tacit criticism of the Provisional Government led by Muhammad Yunus, General Walker expressed his concern about the deteriorating situation of law and order, the danger of misinformation, and inflammatory rhetoric.
He also urged them not to succumb to provocation and remain alert. “The country and its people remain the highest priority for the Army,” he stressed.
Speculations about a military coup or martial law were spread after disagreements between the Army and student leaders, who brought the movement to the public where Sheikh Hasina was expelled.
Analysts believe some factions within the military have become angry and hope to take steps to control tensions and uneasy voices.
This forced General Walker to warn officers of any impulsive action, as he said such a move could be for the benefit of those who tried to destabilize the country.
These troops played a key role in the establishment of a provisional government under former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Yunus.
Will student leaders oppose the Bangladesh army?
This changed again when a student leader filed explosive charges against the Army chief in a pre-recorded video released Friday.
Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuiyan, who serves as a consultant for local government, rural development and cooperatives in the interim government, claimed that General Walker was initially reluctant to support Muhammad Yunus’ appointment as chief consultant.
Another well-known student activist, Hasnat Abdullah, has recently threatened a large-scale campaign against the army.
This is the report after a secret meeting between Abdullah and General Waker on March 11, where the Army Chief allegedly hinted at the possibility of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League, if they were held, return to politics and participate in the election.
As tensions escalate and speculation is high, Bangladesh finds itself at a critical moment, trapped between political uncertainty and military oversight.
Although General Wak’s assurances were intended to eliminate fear of the coup, the presence of heavy troops held in Dhaka and opposition to military performance showed that the situation was fragile.
