Nothing has been alright in bangladesh even after the overthrow of Sheikh Hasina's government last year. The current Yunus government is now at loggerheads with the bangladesh Army. bangladesh army Chief General Waqar Uz Jama has made it clear that interference in military matters will not be tolerated and before taking any decision related to the bangladesh border, the army will have to be consulted. Along with this, the army Chief has also talked about holding elections in the country by December.
These statements of the bangladesh army Chief are being considered as a strict warning for the Yunus government. Actually, the caretaker government of Mohammad Yunus has been continuously failing in many matters and its grip is also getting weak, due to which there is a possibility of a coup in bangladesh once again. In such a situation, let us know what is the reason for the anger of the bangladesh army and how powerful is the Bangladesh Army?
This corridor is the reason for tension
Recently, Mohammad Yunus' foreign affairs advisor Tauheed Hussain had unilaterally announced that the interim government has agreed to the Rakhine corridor proposed by the United Nations. This corridor was connecting bangladesh to Myanmar, through which there is a plan to supply essential goods to the Rohingyas in Myanmar and it is being called a humanitarian corridor. The bangladesh army has objected to this. The army Chief says that the opening of this humanitarian corridor will increase infiltration in the border areas and this will also increase the risk of anarchy and terrorist activities in the country. The biggest reason for resentment is that before taking a decision related to the border, the Yunus government did not even talk to the army and a unilateral decision was taken.
Can Bangladesh Army stage a coup?
Bangladesh witnessed a coup last year, where rebel groups overthrew the Sheikh Hasina government. With the support of students and opposition parties, the protests here were so violent that the situation went out of the hands of the army, after which Sheikh Hasina had to flee to save her life and take refuge in India. Now once again a similar situation is seen in bangladesh, where tensions between the army and the government are increasing. Looking at the current situation, the Yunus government has failed to maintain its hold not only in international relations but also in the country and people's trust is gradually waning. In such a situation, taking advantage of the situation, the army can stage a coup here.
