'Bangladesh Runs Risk Of Becoming Pakistan': Sheikh Hasina's Son's Warning Amid Turmoil

Wazeb Joy said that though the government removed the quota and accepted the demands of the students, the protestors were not satisfied.

The son of Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday said that the country runs the risk of becoming like Pakistan one again and added that he would continue to fight for democracy.

“Bangladesh today runs the risk of becoming Pakistan again... We will continue to fight for democracy in Bangladesh,” US-based Sajeeb Wazed Joy said in a post on X. 

Wazeb Joy, who is also an information and communications technology advisor to Hasina, said that though the government removed the quota and accepted the demands of the students, the protestors were not satisfied.

"The government removed quota, accepting the demand of the students, though it was a decision of the court. But the protesters were not satisfied. The more we accepted their demands, the longer their list grew," he said.

Responding to the demand for Hasina's resignation and ouster of the government, Joy said no one was thinking what would happen after the government fell.  

He further said that the law enforcement agencies should not allow an unelected government to come to power warning that the country would become like Pakistan if that happens. 

"We will become like Pakistan again if that happens. It will be the end of our development story. Bangladesh will never be able to make a comeback," he said.

The post comes hours ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation and the army taking over the control over the country. Hasina fled to India, where she will stay overnight before leaving for Europe. 

Hasina's son had also urged the country's security forces to block any takeover from her rule as hundreds of thousands of protesters took to streets in Bangladesh.

"Your duty is to keep our people safe and our country safe and to uphold the constitution...It means don't allow any unelected government to come in power for one minute, it is your duty," Joy said.
