Bangladesh is currently facing heightened political uncertainty as sources indicate a potential military takeover may be underway. Reports suggest the Bangladesh army, led by General Waker-Uz-Zaman, held an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss significant developments that could unfold in the coming days. The meeting was attended by top-ranking army officers, including five Lieutenant Generals, eight Major Generals (GOCs), and key officials from independent brigades and the army headquarters. This high-level meeting has fueled speculation about the army's next move amid rising political unrest.
 

The crisis intensified following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government in August last year. Since Muhammad Yunus assumed charge as interim chief, public distrust has grown steadily due to economic instability, social unrest, and controversial policies. Amid this discontent, the military is reportedly exploring various strategies to restore stability. Sources suggest the army may pressure the President to declare a state of emergency, stage a coup to remove Yunus, or establish a national unity government under military supervision. While no official statement has confirmed these intentions, increased military presence in Dhaka, intensified patrols, and newly established checkpoints suggest the army may be preparing for decisive action.
 

The growing anti-army sentiment has further fueled the crisis. Various political parties and student groups have criticized the military's alleged efforts to rehabilitate Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League — a claim the army has denied. Adding to tensions, France-based Bangladeshi social media influencer Pinaki Bhattacharya recently encouraged students and extremists to protest against the army's Chief of Staff. Bhattacharya’s claims that the military chief is influenced by India have intensified public anger and prompted concerns over foreign interference. Meanwhile, Muhammad Yunus’s upcoming visit to China has added another layer of complexity. Observers believe this diplomatic move may significantly impact China-Bangladesh relations, potentially influencing the region’s geopolitical landscape. Given Bangladesh's strategic position in South Asia, Yunus's visit could have far-reaching consequences.
 

Amid these developments, joint security forces have increased their presence across Dhaka, intensifying patrols and monitoring student-led demonstrations. Recent protest marches have created additional tension, prompting the military to explore strategies to control public dissent. As rumors of a military intervention grow stronger, Bangladesh’s political landscape faces heightened instability. With uncertainty looming, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether the Bangladesh army will take control or if diplomatic efforts can prevent further turmoil. The international community is closely watching these developments, aware that a military-led government could significantly alter Bangladesh’s political and economic future.
