Dhaka, Oct 22 (NationPress) The ambition of Bangladesh to establish an Islamic Revolutionary Army transcends mere internal stability, aiming to transform the nation into a pivotal base for transnational jihadist activities. This move aligns with Pakistan’s geopolitical objectives while suppressing secular dissent, as highlighted in a report released on Wednesday.

The report asserts that the regime under Muhammad Yunus seeks to forge alliances with Islamist factions, branding them as “grassroots defenders” to erode the power of the Bangladesh Army – the last remaining national institution capable of countering radical influences.

“A significant and coordinated conspiracy is in motion within Bangladesh. Beneath the guise of political discourse and claims of ‘anti-discrimination’ activism, the Yunus regime is pursuing a scheme that could trigger the most severe security crisis in South Asia since the emergence of the Taliban,” stated a report from the prominent Bangladeshi outlet ‘Blitz’.

According to various sources, including regime insiders, social media revelations, and intelligence leaks, the report suggests that an Islamic Revolutionary Army (IRA) is being formed with the intention of replacing the Bangladesh Army with a militia driven by ideology, loyal to Yunus and his Islamist allies.

“This so-called ‘Islamic Revolutionary Army’ is more than just a political gimmick or a surge of student enthusiasm. It embodies a perilous convergence of radical Islamism, foreign intelligence collaboration, and deliberate efforts to militarize civilian networks. If left unchecked, this could convert Bangladesh from a moderate Muslim democracy into a launchpad for jihadist expansion across South Asia,” the report emphasized.

In a startling announcement on his social media platform earlier this week, Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain – a prominent and contentious advisor to the Yunus regime – disclosed plans for the recruitment and training of 8,850 individuals at seven training centers throughout Bangladesh.

He elaborated on the training program, which includes martial arts, judo, taekwondo, and firearms instruction. The post quickly gained traction online before vanishing shortly after.

Sources in Dhaka confirmed that this recruitment marks just the initial phase of a broader strategy, with five subsequent batches of 8,850 recruits expected to complete their training by January 2026.

“The recruitment process reportedly includes written, viva, and physical tests — all supervised by retired Bangladeshi officers with strong pro-Pakistan affiliations, alongside covert agents from Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Turkey’s Milli İstihbarat Teskilati (MIT),” it underscored.

“Bangladesh’s civil society, along with its remaining independent journalists and the patriotic factions within the military, must intervene before it becomes too late. Once an ideologically rooted revolutionary army takes the place of a professional military bound by constitutional law, Bangladesh will cease to be a sovereign republic – it will morph into a caliphate in disguise,” the report cautioned.
