Sheikh Hasina's Son Warns Bangladesh Has Become a Failed State Posing Security Risks
Sajeeb Wazed, son of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, warned that Bangladesh has become a "failed state" with deteriorating law and order since August 2024, alleging political killings and suppression of freedoms. He claimed foreign intelligence agencies, especially Pakistan's ISI, operate freely, and militants have been released, raising security concerns for India. Wazed questioned the reported death toll from recent protests and criticized Bangladesh's indemnity law. Sheikh Hasina defended her government's actions, describing the unrest as a violent political campaign.
