After Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled Bangladesh on a military aircraft and landed in India on Monday, with the army stepping in to fill the power vacuum, her son, Sajeeb Wazed, accused both Pakistan and the United States of being involved in the turmoil engulfing Bangladesh.
Wazed, who serves as an advisor to the prime minister on information and communication technology affairs, voiced his suspicions. He pointed fingers at Pakistan’s intelligence agency, ISI, and the United States as potential influences in the instability. He said, ‘We know for a fact that Jamaat is heavily funded by the ISI from Pakistan, Wazed noted, adding that the US had opposed Sheikh Hasina in recent elections’.
Wazed described a disturbing scene in universities where groups were chanting, ‘We are Razakars. We are Razakars.” He compared this to chanting “we are Nazis” in Jerusalem, suggesting that these provocations were intended to incite violence and destabilize the government.
Wazed painted a bleak picture of the current situation in Bangladesh, describing it as pure anarchy. He elaborated, ‘Right now there’s no law and order. It’s pure anarchy’.
He further explained that reports indicate that Jamaat supporters are targeting minorities and Awami League party leaders. “The Jamatis are attacking the minorities, and also the students are demanding that they will name the caretaker interim government, not the president and the army,” he said, emphasizing the complexity and danger of the current environment.
