Military Coup in Bangladesh 2025? Army’s Emergency Meeting Sparks Chaos

Introduction

Hello, friends! I’m Harsh. Today, we’re diving into a massive geopolitical game unfolding in India’s neighborhood—Pakistan and Bangladesh—something you all need to know about. Just hours ago, Indian media flooded with dozens of articles claiming that Bangladesh might see another coup. Word is, their military chief called an emergency meeting, Mohammad Yunus will address the nation, and something huge is about to go down tonight. But here’s a twist—Bangladesh’s Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman just denied any military coup minutes ago. That said, history tells us: many times, military chiefs say this and then stage a coup within a day or two. It happens!

What’s Happening in Bangladesh?

What’s going down in Bangladesh today directly affects India. Remember 2024? Sheikh Hasina was ousted in a coup. Now another coup? Mohammad Yunus is in power, backed by the Army Chief. So what’s this new coup about? Let me break it down simply. Bangladesh’s Army Chief, Waker-Uz-Zaman, is the most powerful man there right now. Mohammad Yunus? You could call him a figurehead—supported by the USA, he’s in place for now. But if that support vanishes, he’s easily replaceable. The real power lies with the Army Chief, and Bangladesh’s future hinges on him.

I recall working on a project about Bangladesh’s politics years ago. Back then, I thought this country fought hard for stability. Today’s chaos takes that struggle to a whole new level.

Pakistan’s Dangerous Play

What’s Pakistan up to in Bangladesh? They want radical groups to take over—groups that dream of turning Bangladesh into an Islamist, anti-India nation. Recent reports revealed that Pakistan’s ISI and their generals tried a silent coup within Bangladesh’s army. Bangladesh sacked top generals under Waker-Uz-Zaman because Pakistan had infiltrated their ranks. Pakistan’s goal? Remove Waker-Uz-Zaman. Why? Because he keeps Bangladesh neutral and blocks it from becoming a pro-Pakistan puppet whose sole job is to harm India, even if it destroys its own economy and jobs.

I spoke to a friend in Dhaka recently. He said, “Harsh, there’s a weird vibe on the streets. Some groups have suddenly grown powerful, and people are scared.” That’s the fear that could destabilize Bangladesh today.

Rise of Radical Groups

Since Pakistan can’t oust Waker-Uz-Zaman, they’ve switched tactics—backing fundamentalist and radical elements in Bangladesh. Suddenly, terrorist groups, dormant for years, are holding rallies on the streets. These are outfits even Pakistan banned! If you’re wondering what difference that makes—while Waker-Uz-Zaman is around, Bangladesh stays stable. But the fear is these radicals might target him. He’s the “last man standing” keeping Bangladesh together. If something happens to him—an internal plot, generals turning on him, or him being jailed on trumped-up charges—Bangladesh will spiral into chaos.

Mohammad Yunus’s Role

Where does Mohammad Yunus stand? With the radicals or the Army Chief? It’s unclear. Indian media reports aren’t baseless—Bangladesh is primed for something big. It could happen today, next week, or next month. But something’s coming. Waker-Uz-Zaman faces a tough call—either impose military rule and crack down on these groups, or sit quiet and let Pakistan’s radicalization plan succeed.

India’s Policy?

India’s stance is a bit odd. Our Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar recently said, “We knew an anti-Hasina wave was building in Bangladesh, but we couldn’t interfere.” India’s clear policy is to avoid looking like meddlers—otherwise, it’d worsen things. Pro-Pakistan groups would get ammo to say, “See, India’s interfering, stand against them!” I think this stance is fine. Getting too proactive now could hurt our growth story. For now, we can only observe. But mark my words—Bangladesh will be in the news a lot over the next 3-6 months. A big event is coming—either the army hits the streets, or thousands end up in jail.
