Sheikh Hasina’s son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, has sharply criticised Bangladesh’s attempt to seek his mother’s extradition from India, calling the legal process in Dhaka fundamentally flawed. Speaking to news agency ANI , Wazed also warned that India faces an escalating threat from terror groups operating freely across the border after the change in government.

Wazed has been living abroad since his mother was flown to India in August 2024. Describing the circumstances around her departure, he thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for granting her safe passage, claiming militants had been preparing to attack her.
