Dhaka:
Bangladesh’s Army Secretary on Tuesday warned that the benefits of the student-led revolution that overthrew the government in August last year were at stake, accusing it of being wrong between the deterioration of law and order.
South Asian countries are struggling to stop the surge in violent crime, and security forces arrested thousands this month and are said to be linked to prime minister Sheikh Hasina, whose gang was expelled.
“If you can’t move beyond your own differences and continue to fight intervention and conflict between yourself, your country’s independence and integrity is at risk. Name.
“Stakeholders are busy blaming each other, so the villains feel like the situation. They believe they can get away with anything,” he said at the Army Memorial event.
Bangladesh was hit by a surge in crime and protests this month when crowds ravaged a building that led to Hasina’s family.
Last week, rival student factions clashed on university campus. This is a sign of serious discrepancies between groups that will help promote the uprising against Hasina.
Security forces have arrested more than 8,600 people since launching the Operation Devil Hunt on February 8th. The government is a loyal to Hasina and has accused them of wanting to “make the country unstable.”
“The anarchy we witnessed is manufactured by us,” Waker said.
Bangladesh has a long history of military coups.
It was Waker who was in charge after Hasina fled India by helicopter on August 5th, but he also urged people to support Nobel Prize-winning microfining pioneer Muhammad Yunus. I did.
Yunus, 84, vowed to hold widespread democratic reforms and hold general elections in late 2025 or early 2026, and Waker was sworn in the interim government.
“In the beginning, I said it would take 18 months to hold the election,” Waker said.
“We are on that path. Professor Yunus is doing his best to keep us united. Let’s help him.”
Nahid Islam, a leading student protest leader, resigned from the government’s cabinet on Tuesday – where he led the Ministry of Communications, ahead of the expected launch of the new political party on Friday.
Yunus said he “has inherited a completely dismantled system of administrative and judicial justice” that requires a comprehensive overhaul to prevent a future return to dictatorship.
“Security forces accused of numerous allegations of forced loss of failure, murder and torture must be investigated,” Waker said.
“We have to guarantee punishment,” he said. “Otherwise we’ll be trapped in the same cycle.”
The military was given police-like jurisdiction, including arrests after the revolution.
But Waker, a career infantry officer who spent nearly 40 years in the military and served two tours as a UN peacekeeping force, said he just wanted a break.
“I just want to take the country and the country to a stable spot and then take a vacation,” he said. “After that, we’ll go back to the barracks.”
