Sheikh Hasina to Return to Bangladesh for Elections

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will return to her country once the new caretaker government decides to hold elections, according to her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy. Hasina fled to India after weeks of violent protests forced her resignation. The interim government, led by Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, was sworn in on Thursday and is tasked with organizing the elections.

Hasina, currently sheltering in New Delhi, is rumored to be considering seeking asylum in Britain, though the British Home Office has not commented. Meanwhile, her son hinted at the Awami League’s potential participation in the upcoming elections, expressing optimism about their chances.
