The Army Chief pledges full support.

National elections are coming very soon. Additionally, the Election Commission and the interim administration are committed to holding the polls five months prior to Ramadan. For those who practice traditional religions, the major Durga Puja celebration will begin at the end of this month. Regarding the elections, there are concerns about a number of schemes.

A conflict between the People's Rights Council and the Jatiya Party occurred a few days ago. Nurul Haque Nur, the head of the People's Rights Council, was gravely hurt in the incident and is currently receiving medical attention.

Some people believe there is a conspiracy involved. "We strongly say that the elections will be held in the first half of February," the interim government announced in response to the tragedy.

There is no way to stop it. "The government has established a 'zero tolerance' policy against all sorts of mob violence," the ISPR announced on behalf of the army. In order to provide aid and security to the people, the Bangladesh Army stands firmly against all forms of mob violence and reiterates the government's decision. The army is always committed to upholding peace, law and order, and public safety. Regarding the conflict, it was also stated that "five army members were also hurt in the event."

In light of the overall circumstances, Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman reiterated yesterday, Monday, that the Bangladesh Army will continue to offer full cooperation in order to guarantee the securityof the populace, including enhancing the nation's state of law and order. During separate courtesy conversations with President Muhammad Shahabuddin and Professor Muhammad Yunus, the Principal Advisor to the Interim Government, he gave this commitment.  

Ensuring the security of the populace is the military's most sacred duty during this time. It appears that the conspiracy includes personal attacks and criticisms of the army and the army leader. In order to avoid this, the interim government should also assume the role of true leadership and sternly advise the parties involved, "Do not do this." Put an end to it.

Army in various religious communities' trust: In light of the current precarious circumstances, members of the nation's various religious communities are likewise placing their trust in the military forces.

For hundreds of years, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Paharis, Bengalis, and tribal people have all coexisted peacefully and harmoniously in Bangladesh, according to the army leader. Everyone has a claim to this nation. We will all coexist in this nation in harmony and beauty. Discrimination based on caste, religion, or tribe will not exist. All of us are citizens of this nation. Everybody is entitled to the same rights in every area. That is how we envision our golden future.

Speaking as the chief guest at the August 16 launch of the Janmashtami procession at the capital's Dhakeshwari Temple, he made these remarks. He was joined by Air Chief Marshal Hasan Mahmud Khan and Navy Chief Admiral M Nazmul Hasan.

The Army Chief stated during the April 13 foundation stone laying ceremony for "Sampriti Bhaban" at the International Buddhist Vihara in Merul Badda in the capital, "The army is ready to do everything it takes to keep the nation's communities harmonious. Hatred and violence are not what we seek. Even though people may hold differing views, we should all respect one another in the end. Let us respect one another's beliefs and viewpoints. We desire a nation that is peaceful and orderly.

The Army Chief stated, "Communal unity is the pride of our country," during a visit to the Archbishop's House in Kakrail, Dhaka, on December 24 of last year to commemorate Christian Christmas and New Year. The Army is carrying out its duty alongside other law enforcement organizations to guarantee that members of all groups can joyfully and peacefully enjoy their various religious holidays.

Along with the chiefs of the Navy and Air Force, the Army Chief paid a visit to the Ramna Kali Mandir on October 11 of last year in honor of Durga Puja. "The Army is always ready and alert to ensure the security of puja mandap across the country," he declared that day. Our objective is to keep everyone in the nation safe and in a tranquil environment. Our primary goal is to enable everyone to enjoy their religious holidays in a joyous setting, irrespective of caste or faith. We shall guarantee the nation's general security and continue to foster unity and collaboration between people of all religions as we have in the past.

This time, too, the concerned parties are recalling the Army Chief's remarks. Regarding the Army Chief's stance, Basudeb Dhar, President of the Bangladesh Puja Udjavan Parishad, informed Kaler Kantho yesterday, "This is absolutely positive." Our spirits have been raised by the presence of the chiefs of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. We are hoping they will attend Durga Puja this year as well.

According to military experts: Brigadier General Md. Zayedur Rahman (retd), Senior Research Fellow at the Foundation for Strategic and Development Studies, claims that following the July coup, "mob violence" has become a new kind of terror in Bangladeshi public life. It is still going on. "111 people died in mob violence between January and August last year," he told Kaler Kantho, citing the Law and Arbitration Center's study. Compared to other years, this figure is many times greater.It goes without saying that in a healthy society, such aggression is unacceptable.

Political strife, the restoration of social prestige, economic and corporate benefits, the emergence of religious fanaticism, and personal motives are the five main factors that lead to mob violence. Mob violence is committed by self-interested individuals or groups using two methods. First, inciting instant public indignation; second, using social media to disseminate false information, lies, and rumors.

Bangladesh is going through a unique period right now. From the perspective of law and order, the nation remains in a precarious position even after the fall of the fascist regime. The ability of the police to effectively uphold law and order is still lacking. This is caused by a lack of confidence in the police as well as a problem of mistrust and mutual trust between the public and the police. Heinous crimes like mob violence are committed by taking advantage of this frailty. To uphold law and order, the military forces have been given magisterial powers. The public is hopeful that mob violence will be controlled in this situation. Has that hope, however, actually come true? Both the army leader and the head of government have stated time and again that they are committed to using a hard hand to quell mob violence. Nevertheless, the intended outcomes are not being attained. Are the military forces to blame for this? Or is there another explanation for it?

"There is no place for failure in this duty from the perspective of the military forces' morale, training, and patriotism," he stated. The following factors are thought to be responsible for the failure to produce the intended outcomes: First, some media outlets claim that force is being used needlessly or purposefully whenever the military is used to firmly suppress or control any mob violence. In particular, intentionally disseminated movies or still photos on social media are disparaging the military. As a result, the force members are deterred from carrying out their responsibilities or lack resolve. Second, police and other auxiliary forces are refusing or showing little interest in giving the military full information and other forms of assistance. Thirdly, the military is not accustomed to upholding law and order for an extended period of time. In general, there is not enough control over mob violence. When it comes to meeting the expectations of the public, the military must be resolute in this situation. To prevent confusion, they must stay in touch with the public and the media and provide correct information. This communication can also occur on a regular basis at the local level if needed. More coordination with law enforcement and other agencies is required. The armed forces are trusted by the populace. Making sure everyone is safe during this The military's most sacred duty is to handle crises.

Major General (Retd.) Dr. Md. Naeem Ashfaq Chowdhury, a security specialist, thinks that different parties have stepped up their efforts to keep the nation unstable during the elections and following the roadmap's announcement.

The number of parties that do not wish to follow the law was minimal both during and after the formation of the interim government, Naeem Ashfaq Chowdhury told Kaler Kantho on Monday. However, a lot of parties are coming up presently. There is a risk that things will worsen in the future. The ruling party, which was overthrown in the 24th popular rebellion, will also want the country to avoid holding a successful election. The "RAW," which infiltrated Bangladesh from all sides, will likewise want to reclaim its former supremacy. If the election can be questioned, this will be feasible. In opposition to the elected party that takes power, a variety of interests will be involved. Conspiracies of all kinds have begun to worsen the situation. To stop all of those plots, the interim administration in this case should enlist the aid of political parties and all available security forces. It will not work to rely just on the army, police, BGB, and Ansar.

Naeem Ashfaq Chowdhury stated, "The conspirators do not want the law and order situation to improve," in reference to the mistreatment of the army and the army chief. They do not wish for the soldiers tasked with upholding law and order to remain united and their morale to remain high. Propaganda is being used against them because of this. That conspiracy appears to include disparaging and personally targeting the army and the army chief.

In order to avoid this, the interim administration should also assume the role of true leadership and sternly advise the parties involved, "Do not do this." It appears that the prospects created by our nation's unification in 2024 following 1970 were not fully used. We are currently heading toward a society of divisiveness through abuse. This separation must end, and inclusive policies must be adopted. We must ascertain what and who is effective for the nation. The political parties are accountable for this.

He added, "South Asia has benefited much from the opportunities brought about by the shifting global politics. If we are unable to make the most of this circumstance, we will lag behind. Only when the nation is in a stable state will we be able to take advantage of this chance. However, the country may suffer greatly if we are unable to resolve the internal unrest on our own.
