Long-time Bangladeshi leader Sheikh Hasina’s son has refuted a media report which claimed that her mother had accused the United States of scheming to change the regime in Bangladesh and mentioned that she would have addressed this issue in her speech if she had the chance. Earlier, a media report claimed that before resigning as Bangladesh’s Prime Minister and fleeing the country on August 5 amid violent student protests, Hasina intended to address the nation. In her undelivered speech, she would have accused the United States of conspiring to orchestrate a regime change in Bangladesh.
The media report has now been totally denied by Hasina’s son Sajeed Wazeb in a social media post. He even dubbed the report as “false and fabricated”. “The recent resignation statement attributed to my mother published in a newspaper is completely false and fabricated. I have just confirmed with her that she did not make any statement either before or since leaving Dhaka”, Hasina’s son wrote on X.
