Sheikh Hasina, the ousted Prime Minister of Bangladesh, did not formally resign before fleeing the country amid intense anti-government protests, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy has revealed.
"My mother never officially resigned. She didn't get the time," Wazed told news agency Reuters.
Wazed, who lives in the United States, further said, "She had planned to make a statement and submit her resignation. But then the protesters started marching on the prime minister's residence. And there was no time. My mother wasn't even packed. As far as the constitution goes, she is still the prime minister of Bangladesh."
