Bangladesh News | Muhammad Yunus-Bangladesh Army Chief Tensions On The Boil

In today's episode of India Global, Tensions between Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-uz-Zaman and Interim Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus have reached a boiling point. What began as a routine law and order meeting has exposed a fierce battle, not just over governance, but the soul of the state. Sources confirm General Zaman's U.S. trip was abruptly cancelled amid fears of Islamist mobilisation near his residence, fueled, allegedly, by Yunus' backers. One man in the shadows: Lieutenant General Mohammad Faizur Rahman, accused of pro-ISI ties and seen as Yunus's insider within the military ranks. The army's not backing down. A major raid in the capital busted an armed criminal gang, part of a broader push by the military to reclaim public confidence. Meanwhile, Yunus faces charges of stalling democratic elections and promoting Islamist-linked figures like Mohammad Azaz, once a top Hizb ut-Tahrir leader. The interim government's credibility is crumbling fast, and the army is watching. NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi speaks with Senior Bangladeshi Journalist Muktadir Rashid and International Affairs Expert Prof Swaran Singh to discuss this and more.
