BNP standing committee member Maj (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed today congratulated the Bangladesh Army for its role in "removing" Sheikh Hasina from power.

He was appointed member of the BNP standing committee yesterday.

"I had lost hope, but at the momentous occasion, the Bangladesh Army took sufficient and proper action to remove Sheikh Hasina. I congratulate them for this," Hafizuddin said during a programme, organised by Bangladesh Jatiotabadi Muktijoddha Dal at Jatiya Press Club.

"There was a lot of anger against them [Bangladesh Army]. The army is a traditional force. The language of army members, especially senior officers, should be soldier-like. But for the last 14 years, I have seen them giving speeches like those of Chhatra League. What a shame… But in the end, they responded to the people's call and took the right action. They removed the dictator," he mentioned.

He also questioned police's use of military-grade weapons during the recent crackdown.

"They are the police. Who gave them LMG, MG, 7.62 rifles of the military? Hasina's government did. These weapons were not supposed to be with them," he said.​

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has announced that no personnel from foreign missions are currently residing within any of the country's cantonments. This information was shared in a press release issued by the ISPR yesterday.

According to the press release, the recent political upheaval and the subsequent deterioration of law and order across the country led to a request for enhanced security for various foreign missions in Bangladesh. During this period, when other law enforcement agencies were not available, the army was asked to assist in providing their security. As a result, army personnel were deployed to secure diplomatic areas and embassies in Dhaka, a task that continues to this day.

The statement also mentioned that at the request of the Indian High Commission, only civilian members were provided shelter within the Dhaka Cantonment and other military cantonments. Additionally, some members stayed at their respective consulate buildings and various hotels, which were also secured by the army.

Furthermore, a few Russian experts working at the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant were provided with security. The army has provided all relevant information to the concerned ministry regarding these matters.​

Bangladesh military decided to support Yunus government after the ouster of Sheikh Hasina's government instead of taking over control directly, which was a strategic and calculated decision. This action was viewed as a smart move and it effectively defused India's evil designs against Yunus government. The military's support has helped to stabilize the political situation in Bangladesh during this transitional period. By not taking over directly, the military has shown a commitment to democracy and has allowed for a smoother transition of power, which is crucial in maintaining public trust and order.
