“Sheikh Hasina’s Son Claims She Couldn’t Resign Before Leaving Bangladesh”

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has claimed that she didn’t officially resign before leaving Bangladesh during the deadly anti-government protests.

**In Short**

– Sheikh Hasina didn’t formally resign before leaving Bangladesh, says her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy.

– Wazed is confident that the Awami League will participate in and win the next election.

– He also stated that Hasina is not seeking asylum and plans to return to Bangladesh.

Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has revealed that she did not have the chance to officially resign before fleeing the country amid severe anti-government protests. According to Wazed, Hasina intended to announce her resignation but was forced to leave quickly as protesters advanced on her residence. As a result, he claims that according to the constitution, she is still considered the Prime Minister of Bangladesh.

In Brief

– Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh amid violent protests over a government job quota system, leading to hundreds of deaths. A curfew and mobile internet suspension were imposed as the military stepped in.
– The protests, initially driven by students, escalated into demands for Hasina’s resignation. The government’s harsh response, including calling protesters “terrorists,” fueled further unrest.
– On August 5, as protesters approached her residence, Hasina left for India via military aircraft. A caretaker government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has since taken over.

**AWAMI LEAGUE’S FUTURE**

– Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Hasina’s son, suggests that the formation of the caretaker government without Hasina’s formal resignation could be legally challenged. He expressed confidence that the Awami League would contest and win the next election, which he stated must occur within three months. If the party does not win, Wazed said they would accept being in the opposition.
– Wazed also indicated a willingness to collaborate with the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) to ensure fair elections and restore democracy.

**WAZED’S FUTURE ROLE**

– When asked about potentially becoming Prime Minister, Wazed said he would consider it if the party desires.
– He defended his mother against any legal accusations, claiming she is not responsible for alleged illegal actions by others in her government.
– Despite rumors, Wazed confirmed that Hasina is not seeking asylum and plans to return to Bangladesh soon, although she is currently in India after being granted temporary refuge.
