Sheikh Haseena

Speaking from Washington DC, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, noted, "My message to the government of India, is my personal gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for his government's quick action in saving my mother's life. I am eternally grateful. My second message is that India needs to take a leadership role in the world, and not let other foreign powers dictate the situation".

"Because this is India's neighbourhood. This is India's eastern side. It is a proven track record that no one can deny that Sheikh Hasina's government kept peace in Bangladesh, kept economic growth, stopped insurgency and kept the eastern side of our subcontinent stable. We are the only government that has proven we can do it. Other governments have tried. They have failed...", he said.

"In the history of Bangladesh, there has been one government only that has proven itself to keep the minorities of Bangladesh safe and kept Bangladesh safe from all militancy and violence, that was Sheikh Hasina. This is a proven record in history. No one can argue on that. So the last 15 years were the safest period in Bangladesh's history for minorities, for Bangladesh itself. And it was also the period of the highest economic development growth. Even those who are criticizing Sheikh Hasina cannot deny it. So right now this non-elected government does not have the support of almost the entire population of Bangladesh, which has no popular mandate, are they going to be able to keep the minority safe? You are already seeing the results. The minorities are trying to flee the country. I am worried about them...I want to do what I can to keep the minority safe, restore law and order to Bangladesh, to bring back democracy. This is our goal...", the former Prime Minister's son reiterated.
