Ex-Bangladesh Army General Sparks Outrage: Says India Must ‘Break Into Pieces’ for Bangladesh’s Peace
A retired Bangladeshi military officer has stirred a major diplomatic controversy by claiming that Bangladesh will “never see complete peace” unless India “breaks into pieces.” The remarks were made by Brigadier General (Retd) Abdullahil Amaan Azmi, son of former Jamaat-e-Islami chief and convicted 1971 war criminal Ghulam Azam.
Azmi made the statement during an online discussion hosted at the National Press Club in Dhaka, accusing India of deliberately keeping Bangladesh destabilised. He alleged that New Delhi has historically fuelled tensions in the country to retain political leverage.
Azmi also claimed that India supported armed groups in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) between 1975 and 1996—including the Shanti Bahini, the military wing of the Parbatya Chattogram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS). He accused India of providing “training, weapons and shelter,” leading to years of conflict in the CHT region.
He criticised the 1997 CHT Peace Accord signed between the Bangladesh government and the PCJSS, calling the disarmament process “a show” and alleging unresolved tensions.
Azmi, known for his provocative statements and anti-India rhetoric, frequently comments on regional geopolitics online. His remarks come at a time when India and Bangladesh are attempting to stabilise bilateral ties following the collapse of the Sheikh Hasina government and the political churn that followed.
Indian observers have condemned Azmi’s claims as inflammatory and historically distorted, particularly given his lineage—Ghulam Azam was convicted for orchestrating mass killings of Hindus and pro-liberation Bengalis during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.
