Abstract
Bangladesh continues to experience political upheavals that are characterised by persistent instability and increasing security concerns. General Waker-Uz-Zaman has issued an appeal for institutional discipline and national cohesion, which represents a crucial development in Bangladesh’s democratic journey. The paper evaluates the justification behind the General’s warnings through an analysis of political polarisation alongside institutional breakdown and violent trends in Bangladesh’s historical context. The study reveals that Bangladesh remains at a critical juncture because failure to maintain institutional integrity would endanger its democratic foundations and create imminent threats to its national security through previous cases of warnings dismissal. This Research advocates that Bangladesh should pay attention to the issued warnings to achieve political stability and to establish a sustainable democratic system.
