Senior officers attended the event in person, while others from military establishments nationwide joined virtually.<\/p>\n
General Waker noted that troops have been deployed in the field for longer periods than in previous years and urged officers to maintain close relations with the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are the future of the country. You must be inspired by patriotism and uphold the chain of command,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Responding to recent criticisms of the army, the chief urged restraint. \u201cThose making such remarks are young, like our children. They will understand their mistakes with time and will regret them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He emphasised professionalism and neutrality, warning that no soldier is permitted to be involved in politics. An investigation is currently underway into allegations that a soldier had links with a political party. \u201cIf proven, action will be taken,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
General Waker also confirmed a separate inquiry into an officer accused of violence against women, reiterating the army\u2019s zero tolerance policy on moral misconduct.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut no one will be punished based on media trials. Action will be taken only if allegations are proven,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Highlighting accountability, the army chief reminded senior officers of the state\u2019s investment in their development. \u201cPreventive measures must be taken so that no one engages in crimes. Sending them home after committing offences is a waste of state resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
General Waker reaffirmed that the army remains a professional force dedicated to discipline, neutrality, and national duty as Bangladesh approaches its next parliamentary election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
