Bangladesh Violence / Hasina's chapter is not closed! Will there be a power struggle in Bangladesh?

Bangladesh Violence: Sheikh Hasina had to flee the country after violent protests by students in Bangladesh and is currently taking refuge in India. At that time, the Bangladesh Army Chief had claimed that Sheikh Hasina had resigned from the post of Prime Minister, but now her son and advisor Sajeeb Wajed Joy has claimed that Sheikh Hasina did not resign from the post of Prime Minister before fleeing to India, because anti-government protesters surrounded her official residence Ganabhaban and she did not get a chance to resign.

Hasina's son Sajeeb Wajed told the media from Washington that his mother never officially resigned. She did not get time. She had planned to make a statement and submit her resignation, but then the protesters surrounded the Prime Minister's residence. Due to this she did not have more time. She could not resign. She is still the Prime Minister.

However, now an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has been sworn in in Bangladesh and the ministry has also been divided. In such a situation, the claim of Sheikh Hasina's son is raising many questions.

Is Sheikh Hasina still the PM of Bangladesh?

After Sajeeb Bajey Joy's statement, questions started arising whether Sheikh Hasina is still the Prime Minister of Bangladesh? Because before she left Bangladesh, Bangladesh Army Chief General Walker-uz-Zaman had announced that Sheikh Hasina had resigned before leaving the country, but no statement has come from Sheikh Hasina in this regard yet, but now her son has rejected her resignation.

On the claim of Sheikh Hasina's son, Bimal Pramanik, author of the book Hindu Decrescent Bangladesh and West Bengal published by the Center for Research Indo Bangladesh Relations, says that if Sheikh Hasina has not resigned, then she is still the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. In such a situation, the government formed under the leadership of Mohammad Yunus is completely unethical, unconstitutional and wrong. The interim government has no validity. This interim government should not be recognized even at the international level. He said that the Government of India has congratulated the formation of the interim government. The government should also reconsider its decision.

The meaning of Sheikh Hasina's son's statement

On the other hand, Bangladesh affairs expert Partha Mukhopadhyay completely rejects the claim of Sheikh Hasina's son and says that the army chief had announced Sheikh Hasina's resignation as soon as she left Bangladesh. However, it is true that Sheikh Hasina herself did not go to the President and hand over the resignation letter. Certainly, the resignation letter was sent through a messenger.

He said that it appears that Sheikh Hasina's son has tried to take advantage of the suspicious situation. There was a plan to file a case against Sheikh Hasina's coup and the interim government in the Supreme Court on Friday, but the protesting students and the interim government got wind of it. The protesting students' organization threatened to surround Supreme Court Chief Justice Obaidul Hasan and other judges and demanded their resignation.

And why did the judges fall into trouble?

He said that these judges were appointed by the Sheikh Hasina government. The student organizations had threatened that if they did not resign, the Supreme Court would be captured and burnt. After the threat from the student organizations, seven judges including Chief Justice Obaidul Sahin resigned.

On the other hand, Sheikh Hasina's Sajib Bajay Joy is constantly giving statements that Sheikh Hasina will return to Bangladesh. Experts believe that his strategy behind this is to get the sympathy of the people there after Sheikh Hasina's coup. Along with this, he also wants to maintain Sheikh Hasina's status at the international level, because the attitude of countries like Britain and America is not very positive about giving asylum to Sheikh Hasina.

Sheikh Hasina has taken refuge in India, but the interim government has been congratulated and assured of cooperation by the Government of India. The BNP leader has objected to giving asylum to Sheikh Hasina in India. In such a situation, how long will Sheikh Hasina be able to stay in India. Doubts are being raised about this too.
