Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has resigned from her post amid the protests in Bangladesh. Amid speculations about his political future, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy has claimed in an interview that his mother will not return to politics. Despite working so hard, she (Hasina) is very disappointed and disgusted with the way the movement against her took place.



Her son, Joy, was an adviser to Hasina when she was prime minister. In an interview with the BBC after Hasina's resignation on Monday, he said his mother had been thinking about resigning since Sunday. He eventually left the country for his family's safety. "She (Hasina) changed Bangladesh. When he came to power, the situation in the country was very bad. Bangladesh is a poor country. But today Bangladesh is one of the strengths of Asia. "She's very disappointed. " He also denied allegations that the government was trying to suppress the movement. "They were killed by police. Thirteen police officers have been killed so far. What will the police do if this happens? "



Hasina left her Ganabhaban residence with her sister Rehana on Monday afternoon. She reached India in the evening. The aircraft landed at the Hindon airbase in Ghaziabad near Delhi. An unconfirmed source said Hasina had sought political asylum in London. It's been rejected. In such a situation, he can stay in a safe house in Delhi for the next few days.



Bangladesh has been on the boil over the quota reform movement for the past few days. In the face of strong public anger, the Supreme Court of Bangladesh ruled in favor of quota reform, but the 'anti-discrimination student movement' announced to continue the movement with a nine-point demand. The students were demanding the release of the arrested activists, withdrawal of all cases and punishment to the attackers of the quota movement. "But in the past few weeks, protesters have been killed in" "joint attacks" "by the police, the administration and the Awami League." The anti-discrimination student movement announced to continue the movement with a single demand instead of the nine-point demand - the resignation of the Hasina government. Otherwise, they call for total non-cooperation.



"According to a Prothom Alo report, at least 98 people were killed on Sunday alone in the unrest that erupted over the anti-discrimination student movement's" "non-cooperation programme." "" Among the dead were 14 police officers. Hundreds of people were injured in the attacks. Activists of the ruling Awami League and police clashed in different parts of the country.
