The Bangladesh Army has dismissed claims of an emergency meeting of generals as “false and fabricated” information from an Indian media outlet, asserting that the report lacked credible sources and misrepresented a routine meeting. They have condemned the sensationalist narrative and urged media to adhere to responsible journalism.

On March 25, 2025, the Bangladesh Army officially dismissed claims made by an Indian media outlet regarding an alleged emergency meeting among high-ranking generals. The statement was issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), which described the report as based on “false and fabricated” information.

The ISPR’s statement specifically addressed the article titled ‘Bangladesh Army Holds Emergency Meeting Amid Possibility of Coup Against Chief Adviser Mohammad Yunus,’ labeling it a significant breach of journalistic ethics. The report was characterized as misleading, based on a routine meeting rather than any extraordinary circumstances.

Moreover, the ISPR indicated that the information shared in the article was entirely unfounded, denouncing claims of an impending coup as “entirely deceitful.” The Army criticized the media outlet for releasing sensational narratives without rigorous investigation or accountability to journalistic standards.

The ISPR further noted this is not the first incident of misleading reports from the same outlet, referencing a previous inaccurate report released earlier in March that they had addressed. The Army called upon all media organizations to practice responsible journalism, emphasizing the need to avoid publishing unfounded assertions that may foster unnecessary discord and mistrust between citizens of both countries.

In conclusion, the Bangladesh Army has effectively refuted claims made by an Indian media outlet regarding a supposed emergency meeting driven by coup concerns. They emphasized the importance of factual reporting and called for responsible journalism to prevent any potential division between Bangladesh and India.
