Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, has said a recent statement on resignation attributed to his mother published in an Indian newspaper is completely false and fabricated.
In a post on X on Sunday, Joy said he had confirmed with Hasina that she had not made any statement either before or since fleeing Bangladesh.
In an article headlined “Breaking silence after ouster, Sheikh Hasina accuses US & warns interim govt against being ‘used,’” Indian media outlet ThePrint reported that she had accused “foreign powers like the US of playing a hand in her ouster.”
“I could have remained in power if I had left St Martin and the Bay of Bengal to America,” she said in a message conveyed to her Awami League supporters, which ThePrint claims to have seen.
