Sheikh Hasina will not return to politics, Joy says
|
[Dhaka Tribune] the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums . That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated...
's son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, has ruled out any political comeback for his mother, saying she is "deeply disappointed" by the uprising against her leadership, despite her efforts to transform Bangladesh.
In an interview with the BBC World Service's Newshour program, Joy, who served as an official adviser to the former prime minister until Monday, said Hasina had been contemplating resignation since Sunday and had left the country for her safety following pressure from her family.
"She has turned Bangladesh around. When she took over power it was considered a failing state. It was a poor country. Until today it was considered one of the rising tigers of Asia," Joy said, defending his mother’s record in office.
Addressing allegations of excessive force against protesters, Joy said the government's response had been justified given the violence faced by law enforcement. "You’ve had coppers beaten to death — 13 just yesterday. So what do you expect the police to do when mobs are beating people to death?"
