Sheikh Hasina has no plans to leave India yet, says ex-PM's son
Bangladesh, currently in India, will stay here for some more time and has no plans to leave India yet, according to Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy. There is no decision for Hasina to move from India to another destination yet, he said.
«Hasina is well and my sister is with her but the former PM is very upset,» Joy said. She is upset that Bangabandhu (her father) gave his life for the country, and the country achieved so much progress but she was hounded out, Joy said.
Joy warned if the security establishment cannot restore law and order, Bangladesh would face the same fate as Pakistan's. He said he is waiting to see how Nobel laureate Md Yunus would run the country.
Joy recalled that his mother wanted to stay back and did not want to leave the country at all. Later, family members persuaded her to leave. Over the past 15 years, the former PM worked tirelessly to protect Bangladesh from terrorists, Joy claimed.
He was apprehensive of free and fair elections in Bangladesh in future.
«What is happening now is that the radicals are not only vandalising, they are also attacking Awami League leaders, former ministers and minorities,» Joy said.
Joy ruled out any political comeback for his mother and noted that she is very disappointed with the turn of events.
