Joy: Sheikh Hasina did not resign before fleeing
This news article reports on claims made by Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in an exclusive Reuters interview following her flight to India on August 5, 2024. Joy asserts that his mother did not formally resign before fleeing, arguing she technically remains prime minister under the constitution, and that the formation of a caretaker government could be legally challenged. The article also covers Joy's statements on Bangladesh's political future, including his claim that the Awami League will contest the next election, his openness to working with opposition party BNP, and his defense of his mother against allegations of ordering violence during the student-led uprising that killed over 250 people.
