Former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said that she has no plans yet to leave India.
Hasina resigned on Monday, but Joy told Deutsche Welle in an interview on Wednesday that the decision to resign was taken a day earlier but not announced.
Responding to a question about leadership in the Awami League, Joy said he currently has no plans to enter politics.
"For the third time, our family has faced a coup. For the third time, we had to live abroad, losing everything. Except for my mother and me, all of us have been abroad for a long time. We are settled here. We have no difficulties in life here. We are accustomed to living here."
He said that there is no decision for Hasina to move from India to another place, adding: "Sheikh Hasina is well and now in Delhi. My sister is with her. My sister lives in Delhi… She is well, but very upset."
Joy continued: "She is saddened that her father gave his life for the country, and the entire family lost their lives. The country for which she was imprisoned, worked so hard, and made so much progress, that the people of this country would insult her in this way, expel her, and go on to attack her, was something none of us could have imagined.
"She had made the decision a day earlier. Only a few of us knew that she would announce she was resigning and that her plan was to ensure a transition of power according to the constitution. But when they (protesters) began marching towards Ganabhaban, we said out of fear, there is no more time. You have to leave now.”
Hasina resigned and sought refuge in India in the face of a massive public uprising in Bangladesh.
