Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has strongly denied a report published by an Indian newspaper claiming that his mother had accused the United States of involvement in her political ouster. The report, featured in ThePrint, suggested that Hasina had stated she could have retained power by conceding territory to the US.
In a post on the social media platform X on Sunday, Joy labeled the statement as "completely false and fabricated." He further confirmed that Hasina, who is currently in India, made no such statements before or after leaving Bangladesh.
ThePrint's article claimed that Hasina, who served as Bangladesh's longest-tenured prime minister, had issued a warning to the interim government against being manipulated by foreign powers.
