Sheikh Hasina Planned Political Retirement Before Ouster

Sheikh Hasina, who was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, was removed from power in August 2024 after many people protested and there was violence.

Her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, said she had already planned to retire from politics because of her age.

She is now in India for safety.

There were reports that she might have told security forces to use strong measures, but her son says those reports are not accurate.

He also said that the political party she leads, called the Awami League, will continue without her.

Many people were hurt or killed during the protests, and the United Nations said about 1,400 people died.

India is not going to send Hasina back to Bangladesh because there is no proof against her, according to her son.
