Today, Bangladesh stands at the brink of a severe security crisis. For every citizen who stands with the nation, this is a matter of deep concern and anxiety — under the Yunus government, 6,000 individuals indoctrinated with fundamentalist and militant ideologies have been recruited into the police force after only four months of nominal training.
This recruitment is not a “reform”; it is a well-planned anti-state conspiracy. Its primary objective is to destroy Bangladesh’s security structure from within, impose state-controlled terror on the people, and, under the guise of democracy, pave the way for establishing a Taliban-like regime.
The horrific violence of July-August 2024 — including police killings, setting fire to police stations, attacks on freedom fighter families, persecution of minorities, and arson of government offices — was driven mainly by these so-called police recruits. There is no denying that this recruitment is direct evidence of “state-sponsored terrorism.”
In 1971, the people of Bangladesh won independence through bloodshed, but in 2024, Yunus’s disguised terrorist force attempted to snatch away that independence. Those who wear police uniforms and set fire to police stations are not police — they are anti-state terrorists. Those who draw salaries from the people’s tax money and then turn arms against them are not a security force — they are enemies of the nation.
Moreover, the fact that no legal or security vetting process was followed in recruiting these 6,000 members under the Yunus government clearly proves that this was a process of rehabilitating extremism. Through this recruitment, militancy has been injected into every police station, checkpoint, public gathering, and even into the judicial process — all in the name of law enforcement.
We believe that these militant recruiters must be brought to swift justice. Each “disguised police member” must be investigated, dismissed, and arrested one by one. To restore public confidence in the country’s law enforcement, this venomous root must be uprooted immediately.
Otherwise, militancy will take hold at every level of the state, and Bangladesh — the nation of the Liberation War — will transform into a Taliban-like state. History and future generations will never forgive those responsible for such a betrayal.
