Action-packed cantonment and ISI loyalist generals: What’s happening in the army?

Two Pakistani ministers are due in Dhaka on Thursday and Saturday for high-level meetings and the signing of agreements to strengthen military collaboration and facilitate visa-free travel for officials, as well as free trade, in line with the common visions envisioned by the West’s puppets, Muhammad Yunus and Shehbaz Sharif, following the jihadist-army coup last August.

Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan will hold the final meetings on Sunday, when Lt. Gen. Faizur Rahman, the Quarter Master General (QMG) of the Bangladesh Army, is set to return after wrapping up his nine-day tour to Pakistan.

Lt. Gen. Faizur has already met with Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir. He will sit with ISI chief Lt. Gen. Asim Malik to discuss the fate of President Mohammed Shahabuddin and Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman, consolidate power, reunite Pakistan, and tackle possible Indian intervention.

In the backdrop, the ISI has also briefed two top political parties, the Yunus- and Jamaat-backed National Citizen Party (NCP) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), on the next actions. NCP’s Dr. Tasnim Jara and the BNP’s Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury were invited to a secret meeting with two ISI officials in Kathmandu, the Nepalese capital, on August 17.

The meeting took place at a time when the top NCP leaders were publicly slandering the army and the DGFI for incompetence to cover up their corruption and mobocracy.

Evidence of attempts to unseat the president and the army chief is visible from the arrogant statements against them, and General Waker was forced to tone down his voice and digest the humiliation.

Earlier, Lt. Gen. Kamrul Hasan, the Principal Staff Officer to Yunus, visited Pakistan several times and sat with the top officials to redesign Bangladesh’s military policy, considering India’s eroding influence and how to strengthen jihadist groups.

Sources say arms, explosives, and cocaine came from Pakistan in the past year on their ships, which offloaded the consignments without any inspection as part of a special arrangement. Moreover, ISI has opened an office at Mohakhali DOHS.

The ISI, defense officers, jihadist groups like Teherik-e-Taliban, Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, and Jamaat-ut-Dawa, and the media are pressing the Pakistan government to revive East Pakistan by empowering the pro-Pakistani elements in the Bangladesh Army, particularly war criminal Ghulam Azam’s son Brig Gen (Retd) Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, who surfaced on August 7 last year after eight years of alleged confinement (widely known as Aynaghor). Eventually, the Yunus regime withdrew the dismissal order issued in 2009 and gave him retirement with benefits.

For the past year, Azmi has been working with ISI, Lt Gen Kamrul and Lt Gen Faizur, and retired military officers Lt Col (Retd) Hasinur Rahman, Brig Gen (Retd) Mohammad Hassan Nasir, and Major (sacked) Syed Ziaul Haque alongside Bangabandhu’s fugitive killers Major (sacked) Shariful Haque Dalim and Col (sacked) Rashed Chowdhury to weaken the army and the DGFI and form the Islamic Revolutionary Army (IRA), suicide squads of jihadists, and operations teams of Rohingya and stranded Pakistanis.

Zia fled the country after a failed coup attempt in 2012. He later found sanctuary under ISI and re-entered Bangladesh in December 2024, reportedly using a Pakistani passport. While the Yunus regime

As per the ISI plan, intelligence sources say Azmi is now preparing to sue General Waker and at least 57 other senior officials of the army and the DGFI for his alleged enforced disappearance to get them arrested or removed.

Understanding the Yunus–Pakistan nexus

If General Waker tries to stick to power, Azmi and his associates will counter it harshly and may recreate a bloody coup like that of November 7, 1975, when the-then Army Chief, Major General Khaled Mosharraf, and two other senior army officers, Colonel Nazmul Huda and Colonel Haider, were assassinated to bring Ziaur Rahman, then a major general and deputy chief of army staff, to power.

The source adds that in such a situation, ISI loyalist Azmi will be made the army chief, Yunus will be the president, and the interim administration will be headed by a civilian, like the 1/11 government.

Thus, this clique will consolidate power and make Bangladesh a launchpad for Pakistan to put pressure on India from its east and west borders simultaneously.

Reunification of Pakistan

An Islamabad-based newspaper, The CatchLine, describes this changeover as an opportunity for the reunification of Pakistan and the return of East Pakistan.

In a column featured in The CatchLine on August 16, Tabassum Moazzam Khan termed Bangabandhu a “traitor,” and said that “under the directives of his Indian masters, he pushed the region towards Hindu dominance by sidelining Muslims and patriotic Pakistanis.”

The column hails Bangabandhu’s assassination by a “group of patriotic army officers” and credits General Ziaur Rahman for rebuilding ties with West Pakistan and countering India’s influence.

Military strongman Gen. Zia, the founder of the BNP, is accused of hanging several thousand freedom fighter officers in the army and air force in kangaroo trials.

It says General Hussain Muhammad Ershad “demonstrated moments of loyalty towards Pakistan—one notable example being his intervention in the case of Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, son of Pakistan’s hero and Jamaat-e-Islami leader Prof. Ghulam Azam.”

Azmi, who was commissioned into the Bangladesh Army in 1981, faced “hostility from anti-Pakistan elements and Bengali Hindus, who questioned his eligibility since he and his father were still Pakistani citizens at the time. When the matter escalated, Prof. Ghulam Azam approached Ershad, who resolved the issue smoothly.”

Ershad was an army officer who repatriated from Pakistan after liberation, while Ghulam Azam, the key leader of collaborators of the genocidal Pakistan Army, returned to Bangladesh after General Zia seized power, since Jamaat had been banned in independent Bangladesh.

During the tenure of Bangabandhu, Ghulam Azam campaigned against Bangladesh from Pakistan and urged Muslim countries not to recognise Bangladesh.

The column says that Amaan Azmi, for being much like his father, has always been a staunch patriot of Pakistan. “He has publicly declared multiple times that he does not recognise the constitution, national anthem, or flag of Bangladesh, rejecting the infiltration of Bengali Hindu culture—particularly the imposition of festivals like Pohela Boishakh. He has consistently condemned the Mukti Bahini and their anti-Pakistan propaganda, defending the honour of the Pakistan Army.”

The columnist said that from 1981 onwards, Azmi “quietly nurtured a vision: to reclaim East Pakistan from Indian influence and restore it as part of Pakistan.”

Tabassum Moazzam Khan writes that on June 24, 2009, as the “proven pawn of India,” Sheikh Hasina, assumed power, she “abruptly dismissed Brigadier Azmi from military service. Thereafter, the family endured years of persecution under her regime.”

The column alleges that Sheikh Hasina “worked tirelessly to cement Indian control over Bangladesh, effectively turning it into a satellite state of New Delhi. However, in a dramatic turn of events, mass Muslim-led protests—spearheaded by Jamaat-e-Islami and Nobel laureate Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus—forced Hasina to flee to India on 5 August last year, where she was granted asylum.”

It claims that by overthrowing the Awami League government, Bangladesh was freed from the clutches of Indian hegemony, and Dr. Yunus rescinded the dismissal order against Brigadier Azmi on December 27, 2024, and he retired with full benefits.

“But this was no true justice. A man of Azmi’s calibre deserves reinstatement, promotion to a four-star general, and appointment as Chief of the Bangladesh Army. If that is not feasible, Dr. Yunus should appoint him as both National Security Adviser and Defense Adviser—roles in which his strategic vision and loyalty to Pakistan would be invaluable.”

The column adds: “For over half a century, Pakistan has carried the wound of 1971—a scar etched into our national consciousness by Indian subversion and betrayal from within. Today, the geopolitical tides are shifting, and a unique window has opened for Pakistan to reclaim its honour and strategic depth in the east. The reinstatement and empowerment of patriots like Abdullahil Amaan Azmi is not merely symbolic—it is the first step towards reversing decades of humiliation. Pakistan must act decisively, working hand in hand with allies in Dhaka to ensure that East Pakistan is restored to its rightful place in the federation. History will not forgive hesitation; the time to act is now.”
