Fifty years ago today, on November 7, 1975 (October 5, 1975 in the lunar calendar), Bangladesh put out a military coup. On November 7, 1975, the Bangladesh Army Chief of Staff Zia Rahman, with the support of the Bangladesh Armed Forces and people, extinguished a military coup launched by Khalid Musharraf, Chief of the Bangladesh Army Staff. In the early morning of November 3, Khalid Musharraf mobilized some troops, surrounded the presidential palace, occupied strategic points in the capital Dhaka, and arrested Army Chief of Staff Zia Rahman. After the coup, Bangladeshi President Kondkar Mustak Ahmed resigned on the 5th. Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Abu Sadat Mohammed Saeim succeeded as president on the 6th. The Soviet news agency Tass and Indian newspapers and radio stations quickly and frequently reported on the coup. Five days after Musharraf launched the coup, General Zia Rahman regained the power usurped by Musharraf in an anti-coup struggle on the 7th and restored his position as chief of the army staff. In a radio address to the nation that day, Zia-Rahman said that he was "acting in this way at the request of the people, the army and the police." He demanded that "all agencies, courts, transportation departments, airports, seaports and factories in Bangladesh should work at full capacity." President Saeem announced on the 7th that military control will be implemented in Bangladesh, with him serving as chief executive officer of military control and three chief of staff of the army, navy and air force, including Zia-Rahman, will serve as deputy executive officers. On this day, thousands of citizens "flocked to the streets of Dhaka to warmly welcome Zia Rahman's 'triumphant return'." The Indian government is "quite anxious" about the development of events in Bangladesh on the 7th. Indian Prime Minister Anglo-Gandhi delivered a speech on the 7th expressing "serious concern" about this. The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying: "India cannot continue to be indifferent and indifferent to developments in Bangladesh." The Associated Press pointed out that this attitude of the Indian government is "in sharp contrast" with Musharraf's response after launching a coup.
