Dhaka, Bangladesh – Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, stated that his family is stepping back from the country's political landscape. Speaking in a candid interview, Joy expressed frustration and fatigue over the repeated challenges his family has faced while governing Bangladesh, declaring that his mother would not return to the country.
Joy's remarks highlighted the sacrifices and struggles his family has endured while leading Bangladesh through turbulent times. "My mother turned Bangladesh around," Joy said. "When she took over power, it was considered a failing and poor country. Until today, it was considered one of the rising tigers of Asia." His comments reflect the significant progress Bangladesh has made under Sheikh Hasina's leadership, including economic growth and improvements in social indicators.
However, Joy also voiced his frustration with the current state of affairs in the country. He noted that fundamentalist groups have been increasingly aggressive, specifically targeting the Hindu community and their places of worship. "Fundamentalists are attacking Hindus and Hindu temples now," he stated, highlighting a troubling rise in sectarian violence.
Joy expressed a sense of finality in his family's decision to step away from active politics. "My family has been through this three times, 3 coups, after this, WE ARE DONE. The country can now handle its own problems," he declared. His words suggest a deep weariness with the political tumult that has repeatedly threatened his family's safety and stability.
The announcement has sent shockwaves through Bangladesh, a country where Sheikh Hasina has been a dominant political figure for decades. Her leadership has been marked by both acclaim for economic development and criticism for an increasingly authoritarian approach. With this unexpected revelation, the future of Bangladeshi politics may be entering a new and uncertain phase.
As the nation processes this development, questions loom about the future of the ruling Awami League and the broader political landscape. Will the party be able to maintain its cohesion without the Hasina family's leadership? How will this shift impact Bangladesh's ongoing economic and social progress? For now, the answers remain unclear, as the country braces for a potential new chapter in its history.
