Sajeeb Wazed says that his mother is "very disappointed with the turn of events as she has worked very hard for the country"
Bangladesh’s ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s visa was reportedly revoked by the US as she is exploring her options for asylum in the UAE and European countries after the UK shot down her request for refuge.
Hasina fled Dhaka after students continued their protests in the streets and demanded her resignation over the quota reserved for kin of 1971 war veterans. The protests turned into violent clashes resulting in more than 400 deaths.
According to news agency AFP, Hasina largely had a productive relationship with the US, which saw her as a partner on priorities such as countering Islamist extremism and sheltering Rohingya refugees from Myanmar. But the US had increasingly criticised her for autocratic tendencies and imposed visa sanctions over concerns on democracy.
The relations between Bangladesh and the US have witnessed a few hiccups over the past few months, with the Joe Biden administration calling the Asian country’s general elections “unfair and not free”. In fact, the US announced visa restrictions for officials and politicians in Bangladesh in the run-up to the elections.
