General Waker-Uz-Zaman is the current Chief of Army Staff of Bangladesh. He assumed this position on June 23, 2024.
India’s Territorial Integrity and Yunus’s Risky Position
Dr. Yunus was brought to power with the promise of a new perspective. However, his decisions and statements have now become a threat not only to Bangladesh’s internal politics but also to regional stability. His recent comments directly threaten India’s territorial integrity, sparking a new controversy in international politics.
In this context, the clear stance of the Trump administration is noteworthy—they have left the Bangladesh issue to India. Naturally, India will take all necessary steps to protect its territorial integrity. Yunus’s position is now controversial not only concerning Bangladesh but also about the sovereignty of neighboring states, which could be considered aggressive under international law.
Additionally, questions are being raised about the role of the Bangladesh military. In the last seven months, they have been accused of involvement in multiple controversial activities, including the incident at 32 No. Banga. Naturally, international powers like India and America are questioning how a force that fails to protect its own unarmed citizens can participate in UN peacekeeping missions.
Walker’s recent untimely invocation reflects this reality, suggesting that their position has become precarious. Time will tell how events will unfold, but it is clear that India will take a firm stance on the issue of territorial security and regional power balance.
