Sheikh Hasina-Joy Joy will decide whether he will come to politics or not: Sheikh Hasina
Own Correspondent, Dhaka, Sept 5: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in an interview given to Indian news agency ANI, said it depends on her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy and the people of Bangladesh whether Joy will come to politics or not. Besides, Joy has been playing a key role behind various initiatives taken by the government.
Prime Minister said, "Look, Joy is an adult and a mature man. It depends on him whether he will come to politics or not. But he is working for the country. The initiatives we have taken to build a digital Bangladesh, especially digital systems like satellites, submarine cables, and computer training, have been taken on his advice. Joy is supporting me but never thought of getting any post in party or ministry."
In a meeting where many had demanded a post in the party for Joy, I asked him to say what he wants. Then Joy said, 'At this moment I do not want any position in the party. Rather those who are working should get posts. Why should I take the post? I am with my mother, I am working for the country. I am supporting the mother (Prime Minister), which I want to continue.'
ANI asked whether Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina thinks her son should agree to the demands of the workers. In response, she said, it is depending on the people.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is going to India today, September 5, on a four-day visit. In an interview given to ANI before this visit, she spoke on various issues, including the Rohingya crisis, and the Teesta water distribution agreement.
