Dhaka: Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has declared his readiness to enter politics to save the Awami League. This statement comes after his mother resigned and fled to India following widespread protests.
Joy previously expressed no interest in politics, but recent events have compelled him to step up. He claims there is a leadership vacuum in Bangladesh and feels compelled to lead the party.
Awami League’s Prospects and Internal Reflection
Joy expresses confidence in the Awami League’s victory in upcoming elections, citing their vast supporter base. He also denies his mother’s plans to seek asylum in any country.
The statement also hints at the party’s willingness to introspect and take responsibility for past mistakes.
Concerns for India and the Future
Joy warns that if the Awami League loses power, India’s eastern border will be at risk. He expresses concern about a potential alliance between the BNP and Jamaat, fearing Jamaat’s embrace of extremism. He urges India to exert pressure on Bangladesh to hold elections soon.
