NEW DELHI (Reuters) – Bangladesh former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will return to her country when its new caretaker government decides to hold elections, her son has said.
Hasina fled to neighbouring India on Monday after weeks of deadly protests forced her to quit. A caretaker government led by Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus was sworn in on Thursday, which will be tasked with holding elections.
Speaking to the Times of India daily, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, who is based in United States, said, “For the time being, she (Hasina) is in India. She will go back to Bangladesh the moment the interim government decides to hold an election.”
