Ousted Bangladesh leader Sheikh Hasina to stay in Delhi 'for a little while', says her son

New Indian Express  

DHAKA: Bangladesh's ousted prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, who fled to India following mass protests against her government, is going to stay in Delhi "for a little while," her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy said on Wednesday. In a video interview with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle, Joy was asked about Hasina's reported plans to seek asylum in a third country. Hasina's daughter, Saima Wazed, is World Health Organisation's Regional Director for the South-East Asia Region, which has its headquarters in New Delhi. All his family members, except Hasina, were already staying abroad for a long time and settled in their respective lives, he said, and answered negatively to Sheikh Rehana's or any other family member's chance of joining politics.
