Speculation about a possible coup in Bangladesh has surged on social media following increased military presence and heightened security measures, particularly in Dhaka. However, neither Army Chief General Waqar Uz Zaman nor interim leader Muhammad Yunus has made any public statements addressing these claims, which have gained traction in the past 24 hours.

General Zaman is seen as a key figure in these developments, as protests against interim leader Muhammad Yunus continue to escalate. Reports suggest that the Bangladesh Army has been holding crucial meetings, further fueling speculation that the military may be reconsidering its stance on the current political landscape. Additionally, the Army Chief has issued warnings about potential terrorist threats, emphasizing the need for heightened vigilance across the country.

Analysts believe tensions between the government and the military have surfaced following recent meetings between General Zaman and his top aides. Sources indicate that discussions have focused on national security concerns and the growing influence of extremist elements. Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Home Secretary, Nasimul Haque Gani, dismissed speculation about an imminent emergency declaration, calling it mere "gossip."

In recent days, Indian media reports suggested that General Zaman himself had faced internal challenges from factions within the military allegedly aligned with pro-Pakistani sentiments. However, for now, the Army Chief appears to maintain control over the armed forces.

General Zaman has repeatedly expressed concerns over deteriorating law and order, as well as the increasing military presence in Dhaka. His meetings and statements have been interpreted by some as indications of dissatisfaction with the current administration.

Adding to the speculation, Asaduzzaman Fuad, General Secretary of the student-led Aamar Bangladesh Party, accused General Zaman of conspiring with President Mohammed Shahabuddin to establish a new interim government. Fuad warned against any attempts to restructure the government under President Shahabuddin, whom he described as a loyalist of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He further referenced past student protests that led to Sheikh Hasina’s ousting and subsequent exile to India. However, reports of Fuad’s arrest remain unverified, with his party denying any such claims.

Amid these developments, a past speech by General Zaman has resurfaced online, further stoking speculation. In the speech, he warned that continued political infighting could jeopardize the country’s stability. He stated that his only goal was to ensure Bangladesh’s security before stepping down, expressing frustration over the political turmoil of the past several months.

As tensions persist, the uncertainty surrounding Bangladesh’s political landscape continues to grow. Whether these rumours will translate into concrete action remains to be seen, but the heightened security situation has kept both the public and political observers on high alert.
