Lakata: The conspiracy to oust Sheikh Hasina Wazed was ‘initiated’ in July last. In the middle of the violent student movement, the junior officers of the Bangladesh Army gave a formal press statement on the 20th of that month – the one who gave the order to fire at the sight of the common people, is not fit to be in the leadership position of the country. This attitude of the “future” of the force around Hasina was unanimously “sealed” by the top commanders of Bangladesh Army in the emergency meeting of Dhaka Cantonment on August 3. The news has been informed by intelligence sources.
According to that source, on the 2nd, an urgent message was sent to all the cantonments of the country and the officers of all the divisions were ordered to come to the army camp in Dhaka in combat uniform (war clothes) that day. With the order to cancel everyone’s leave, it was said that the entire force should be in ‘alert’ mode. It should also be ensured that there is uninterrupted power supply throughout the country for the next few days. Hasina and her associates began to guess what the real ‘goal’ of the army is. Hasina ordered some close army officers to inform about the meeting. But that day the entire army of Bangladesh was in a different mood. According to intelligence sources, shortly after the start of the meeting at 1 o’clock, the majority of the army officers informed that they cannot fire on the citizens of the country. Ask the Prime Minister to resign. If not, the person who gave this order should be ousted and arrested from the public building, Lieutenant Generals, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors, Air Commanding Officers of the Air Force, female majors, some top admirals of the Navy started asking for taking control of the entire Bangladesh. army commanders But Army Chief Waqar Uz Zaman dissuaded them from doing so saying that if they transfer power in an ‘undemocratic’ way, it will send a wrong message about Bangladesh to the whole world.
But Hasina will have to move—understanding this attitude of the majority of the army chief, Wakar, the husband of ‘Apa’s cousin Shahranz Kamalika Zaman, was forced to tune in to the tone of his colleagues, fearing a rebellion or even a coup. The very next day, he went to the Ganabhaban and said – ‘Apa, the army will not fire on the citizens of the country. Asking you to resign, asking you to leave the country. Otherwise, there will be danger. The army has no more trust in you. Mujibur Rahman’s daughter had no other option as the last hope was taken by the army. ‘Apa’ left the country with sister Rehana on 5th afternoon.
