Following the May 21, 2025 meeting between Muhammad Yunus and General Waker Uz Zaman, Chief of the Bangladesh Army, where the latter set several strict preconditions – such as holding the national election by December 30 this year, refraining from leasing Chittagong Port to any foreign entity, avoiding granting corridor facilities to Myanmar’s Arakan State, and not taking any major policy decisions before a duly elected government assumes office in January 2026 – the situation in Bangladesh is becoming increasingly uncertain. Yunus, however, appears to have no intention of holding the election within the stipulated timeframe. Instead, he seems determined to delay the electoral process indefinitely under various pretexts.

Yunus and his inner circle – which includes so-called “student coordinators” as well as radical Islamic factions such as Jamaat-e-Islami, Hefazat-e-Islam, Hizbut-Tahrir, and Ansar al-Islam (the local affiliate of AlQaeda), in addition to influential external players like the US Deep State and Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) – are vehemently opposed to holding elections. Their reluctance stems from the strong likelihood that power would then pass to an elected government – most probably the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) – which would spell an end to their ambitions of retaining power indefinitely at the cost of Bangladesh’s sovereignty – by whatever means necessary.

Yunus’s cohorts are also advancing a sinister plan to nullify the Constitution of Bangladesh by issuing a declaration titled the “July Charter”. This move, if realized, would transform the current regime into a so-called “Revolutionary Government”, granting Muhammad Yunus unchecked authority. It would allow him to dismiss President Shahabuddin Ahmed Chuppu and Army Chief General WakerUz Zaman, thereby paving the way for Bangladesh’s transformation into a brutal dictatorship – possibly under the banner of an “Islamic Republic” or “Bengal Caliphate” – with full backing from the US Deep State, Pakistani ISI, and Islamist allies like Turkey.
