There was a very high probablity of and Army coup in 2006. but this did not happen. Then why 2006 coup is included? It should be described as a 'high chance of coup' than 'coup' Tarif from Bangladesh 18:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I have removed the section. There were no coups in 2006. Since wikipedia isn't a Crystall ball, we must not keep things that "might occur". Thanks. --Ragib 18:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, can anyone point me to an online article/report/post detailing the incidents that happened on the eve (and afterwards) of the 1977 failed-coup carried out mainly by officers of the Bangladesh Airforce? I've been searching for proper information, online for sometime..but haven't been successful so far :( This incident has always intrigued me, and the lack of reading materials is frustrating. ~NiH~ 05:14, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To all readers thhis entire military coup section is a prized project of someone...and this individual from the beginning has been trying to belittle Bangladesh and exagerrating baseless rumors in every way, shape and form. each and every article by this individual has extremely recognizable patterns...undoubtedly similar. Military officers did not represent the armed forces or kill for the bangladesh military. army personnel who killed sheikh mujib executed the mission entirely on their own. They were NOT agents clandestinely at the dark hour of the night with orders even verbal under Shafiullah's and Khandakers rule, go and assasinate mujib. These two never had the mental capacity, discipline or planning capability to undertake such a task, these two are straight up wet bag cowards. They cannot lead nor kill. Their records prove it. Therefore it was not a military coup, rather an assassination by members of the military, just like in Ziaur Rahmans case. Otherwise we should call Zia's murder case a military coup also right?! They were not overt acts of the military and THE MILITARY DID NOT TAKEOVER...FOR EG...UNLIKE IN INDONESIA OR MANY NATIONS IN AFRICA OR EVEN INDIA'S ARCH ENEMY SINCE ITS BIRTH PAKISTAN. The Bangladesh Army and Air Force under these former two, were sleeping with their forces inside the cantonments. They did nothing to protect our great leader Sheikh Mujib. Throughout their tenures they denied mujib protection, and never even sent a platoon for Mujibs protection. I am surprised Mujib was alive that long with a small contingent of the PGR. However, Ershads take over ACTUALLY was a Military COUP. AN OFFICIAL DEEMED and RECORDED AS ONE IN ALL OFFICIAL BANGLADESH GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS, FOREIGN MISSION REPORTS, UN Etc. He took armed military personnel with armored vehicles and attacked bangabhaban, removed the president at gun point by force, Khaled Mosharraf actions on the other hand were far from being military coup. They were sluggish, totally unplanned and utterly disorganised. He was returning to free Zia when he got word over wireless that Zia was arrested. Jamil witnessed it and wrote it in his book. A strong Indian takeover rumor was injected inside cantonment that sparked this reaction.

Neither of their acts was with arms and daggers against the Khandakar Mushtaq sitting in Bangabhaban. They did not kill or storm the Bangabhaban armed with personnel and military vehicles and tanks and remove anyone from power. Rather a chain of events in the midst of rumors and misundertakings that created fear and civil disorder. Think people...how many telephone lines or news publications can we think of that was in existence in Dhaka back then. A handful in Dhanmondi, Muhammadpur, Gulshan and Dhaka Cantonment. Even lesser in numbers around Motijheel, Ramna, and Wari. The nation was pretty much in turmoil during mujib's government. The whole nation was dissatisfied and angry. Little focused research will prove Mosharraf acted independently from disgusted fear of the nation falling into turmoil, and Zia both being house arrested right after it was announced that he was chief, in the first place by another group, and then released and then with overwhelming public support driven by another group straight to the Bangladesh radio station to calm the nation first. The speech is public information, everyone heard it. Zia however after being compelled to declare martial law felt the urgent need to guide the nation honestly and efficiently. And he proved so, but he maybe scrutinised for taking care of his enemies they only way he knew and/or was trained to. I can understand... Mujibs daughter even points out the Zias party came from a man who came from cantonment, but she never accuses him or khaled musharraf of a military coup. even if he was a civilian under a elected government he could have been far more worst. Examples are all over the world. Atrocities and killings under civilian elected government. TAKE A LOOK AT THE BRITISH AND FRENCH GOVERNMENTS. Are they clean?!? Not by a long shot. Their history is far nastier than ours... Look at the state of India's history since its birth as a nation state. Religious tortures, killings, Massive human Rights Violations, Extreme Inequalities AMONG SO MANY CLASSES AND RELIGIONS. I have been there ...its horrible. They all cover their Misdeeds up by that famous two terms.."DEMOCRACY" and "ELECTED CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT". Either way they committed the worst kind of atrocityie under monarchy and elected government. Its crystal clear. Anyways twisted stories and views can be represented in Wikipedia I guess,, as long as there are bits and pieces of printed referrenced material put together I should say, regardless whether it makes sense or not. More than half of the printed history of Bangladesh since 1971 is tabloid junk. No wonder it gets so little recognition from any credible institution. I am glad. THOUGH Most of the B---S--- have very slowly started to erase, and it is bound to happen. Long Live the new generation of BD. History will be established by true facts not repitition of rumours and wishful propaganda. Indian newspapers were the first to point out that the caretaker government of BD was a military backed government...and almost calls it one so often. Like the military is not a part of government and other nations are running without its backing. --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.118.201.120 (talk • contribs)

Shouldn't the 2009

The killing of major general Manjoor remained Manjoor in disguised. For better democracy, better rule of law the killing of Major Gen Manjoor, killing of President Ziaur Rahman and other military officer and Freedom Fighter should be picturized with real cause and effect for better rule of law and better Bangladesh. The whole nation is eagerly awaiting to know the real fact. Why did ex Prime Minister Khaleda Zia was reluctant to bring the background, case and effect of such a heinous killing by a formal court of judgement is also unknown. Begum khaleda Zia the honourable ex prime minister perhaps made a blunder of keeping herself silent about such heinous killing. Shafiqur Mazumdar (talk) 05:20, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In line two from top the word "Manjoor" after the word remained be deleted. In line 12 from top the word case be read as " cause". Sorry for inadvertent. Shafiqur Mazumdar (talk) 05:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
