Bangladesh is currently navigating a period of significant upheaval. Speculations about another coup in the neighboring country are surfacing once again. In this context, the military has demanded prompt elections.
A senior officer of the Bangladesh army has advocated for conducting general elections swiftly to restore democracy. He mentioned that the army is eager to return to its barracks and resume its essential duties without delay.
Eyebrows Raised Over Army's Emergency Meeting
Rumors of a possible coup have resurfaced in Bangladesh. Due to recent political turbulence, there is speculation about major changes on the horizon. Amidst this backdrop, the army is on high alert. On Monday, amid heightened political tension, the Bangladesh army convened an emergency meeting. Senior military officials participated in the discussion.
According to sources, a coup might occur soon in Bangladesh. The army might oust Mohammed Yunus and take control themselves. This movement gained momentum just as Yunus was about to embark on a trip to China.
Student Outrage Against Mohammed Yunus Government
After the Sheikh Hasina government was overthrown on August 5 last year, Mohammed Yunus was appointed as the head of the interim government. He was an interim leader for just a few months. It was claimed that elections would occur in the following months, but with no elections eight months later, student anger has erupted. Students in Bangladesh are consistently protesting, expressing discontent with the Yunus government.
The Army Seeks Return to Barracks
Since the coup in Bangladesh last year, the army has maintained control. Now, they aspire for immediate elections so they can return to their barracks. In Bangladesh, these three significant actions could potentially topple the Yunus government.
It's important to note that after Sheikh Hasina stepped down, Bangladesh has continued to experience ongoing tension. The emergency meeting held by the Bangladesh army included half a dozen lieutenants general, eight major generals (GOC), commanding officers of independent brigades, and other key military headquarters officials.
